Identify Talent Based on What People Know and Can Do
Pickens County School District
The School District of Pickens County created the RISE Challenge for professional learning offerings, which allows district educators to receive professional development at a pace and schedule that works for them and makes it easier to put what they learn into practice.
Using 1EdTech’s open interoperability standards, educators have seamless access to professional development challenges focused on utilizing technology in the classroom and reflecting on pedagogy.
Professional Certification Designed for Leaders Like You
TrustEd AppsTM Certified Leader Program
1EdTech, for me, is about the network. I’m a bridge between technology and academic services for our district, and there are very few people in my state who are positioned that way. Many times, IT is on the maintenance side and instructional technology is on the academic side. I love being that bridge, and 1EdTech allows me to talk to people in a similar position, with similar challenges that we can discuss.

WGU’s focus has helped produce success for over 350,000 WGU graduates by making direct ties between what a student learns at the university and how that knowledge can be valuable in the workplace, through verifiable digital credentials.
Following 1EdTech Open Badge standards provides students with greater transparency between the skills they are achieving in their credential program and how those skills align with employer demand.
Together We Align Learning to Workforce Needs

Credential transparency is critical for ensuring trust and value. WGU leverages the Open Badge standard to provide meaningful visibility into every skills-based credential. We are laser focused on providing students with the skills they need and employers with the credentials they trust.
1EdTech has done a phenomenal job of understanding what information is out there, that goes beyond the traditional transcript, and that can be captured to give a better picture of who a person is, in a way that employers can understand and verify it.
