Postsecondary Instructor Microcredentials 2 Project | Texas State University

The Postsecondary Instructor Micro-Credentials Stage 2 project – or PIM2 for short – builds and offers high-quality professional development (PD) for educators who work in postsecondary developmental education and co-requisite contexts. The PD is delivered through a mini-course format, hosted on the Canvas LMS, that focuses on specific instructional aspects and is facilitated by an expert in the field. Each PD mini-course provides a digital badge for participants that recognizes their successful completion of that PD and the skills and knowledge covered by the PD mini-course.

The project is funded by the Texas Higher Education Coordinating Board (THECB) and is designed to serve educators in postsecondary institutions in the state of Texas. A funding requirement from the THECB is that enrollment in these professional development mini-courses is limited to educators employed by Texas public institutions of higher education. For educators employed by Texas public institutions of higher education, enrollment is free during the funded period of the project (2024-2026). Project leads are Dr. Jodi Holschuh and Dr. Emily Suh.
