Utah Digital Badges

Any educator in Utah’s K-12 public education system can earn U-Badges. This includes educators in both district schools and charters. We strive to develop badges that can be earned by educators in a range of roles, including classroom teachers, instructional coaches, counselors, administrators, etc.

Digital badges give the badge-earner two things: bragging rights and USBE credits. You’ll want to post your badges for others to see on your webpage, social media, etc. You’ll also want to include your digital badges on your resume so potential employers can see your skillset. U-Badges are worth either 0.25 or 0.5 USBE credits, depending on the skill or concept they represent.

1. Brows the U-Badge catalog in MIDAS and choose the badge you want to earn.

2. Collect the evidence demonstrating your use of the target skill, concept, or tool.

3. Upload your evidence in MIDAS.

4. Respond to the reflection prompts in MIDAS.
