Data and Assessment Badge
NC State College of Education Digital Learning Competencies for candidate teachers are adapted from the NC Digital Learning Competencies for Classroom Teachers which were designed based on standards from ISTE, iNACOL and the NC Professional Teaching Standards.
Learning Goals and Aligned Assessments:
Candidate teacher provides evidence that they know how to use a variety of digital assessment tools, collect digital data on student learning, and use data to impact student learning. Candidate teacher demonstrates that they:
- Evaluate digital tools for quality as well as formative and summative assessment use: Digital Assessment Tool Evaluation
- Analyzes data from digital assessments and other sources to make plans for individual students and groups of students: Student Assessment Data Analysis and Visualization
- Creates visualizations of data for classroom decision-making: Student Assessment Data Analysis and Visualization
- Reflects on personalizing student learning: Reflection, Student Assessment Data Analysis and Visualization
Resources:
Use these resources to learn about data use and technology-enhanced assessment.

Procedures:
Teacher candidates will be introduced to various concepts and skills related to assessment of student learning. They will use different formative assessment tools. Students will also walk-through using data to make decisions about students and use a sample set of data to create plans and personalized learning opportunities for students.
Earning a Badge:
Enroll in the course in Reporter:
Read content, watch videos, complete the activities in the online content and demonstrate your proficiency in being able to select and evaluate digital learning tools and demonstrate your plans to integrate successful use of technology in your future classroom.
Each assignment has an associated rubric and work will be assessed in a met/not met manner. Assignments are aligned standards in the learning goals segment above
Next Steps:
- When you have completed the activities in the online module, they will be evaluated for competency in areas of Data and Assessment with digital enhancement.
- You will receive an email with your certificate of completion when you have demonstrated competency.
- If a month passes after submission, you can revisit the online content through Reporter and see if there is rubric feedback. You must resubmit any assignment in which you earned a "Not Met" on the associated rubric.
- Upon completing all four badges, you will receive an email with a micro-credential icon that can be embedded in professional portfolios. Share this site with employers to demonstrate what you have completed.
Rubric:
Students/candidate teachers will complete a series of activities to demonstrate knowledge of digital instruction. This rubric will be used to evaluate the work.
You will be evaluated on three products/activities:
- Digital Assessment Tool Evaluation
- Student Assessment Data Analysis and Visualization
- Reflection
NOTE: If your university does not have a student information/tracking system, you can use online badging tools such as Bloomboard, Credly, or Badgelist.
If you cannot access the content in Reporter (the NC State University Registration Center for Non-Credit Activity) above but would like to see it, this is a Google Doc version similar to what we have included in our online course. The course in Reporter is housed in Moodle.
