Case Study: Digital Promise empowers K-12 educator professional development with Instructure’s Canvas Credentials

Digital Promise offers 400+ micro-credentials with Instructure

Digital Promise, a U.S.-based nonprofit, sought to improve professional development for K-12 educators by moving beyond ineffective traditional seminars. They partnered with Instructure, using its Canvas Credentials platform (formerly Badgr Pro), to create a modern system for issuing verifiable digital badges that recognize specific teaching competencies.

Instructure's solution provided an on-demand platform where educators earn micro-credentials by submitting evidence of their skills. This empowered teachers to drive their own professional growth, resulting in high engagement and proven application of learning in the classroom, as exemplified by a participating teacher who revitalized his career through the program.
