What do you do if your facilitation audience has diverse backgrounds and needs?
If you are facilitating a discussion about diversity and leave out disability - you're doing it wrong. Far too many panels and workshops about navigating DEIA and there are no disabled voices present, no disability challenges presented. Nothing says you really haven't considered an entire group of people like that comment/response to an inquiry about the absence of disability in a DEIA program like: the facilitator says well what question do you want answered? That puts ALL the work back on disabled people and shows no thoughtful inclusion of disabled people in the program. I'm sure other examples apply.

I was a contributor to this white paper on micro-credentials. Specifically about our IAAP WAS Exam.
The emergence of alternative credentials is well documented as part of the credentialing landscape, and in some instances redefining its future. Some of these evolving forms of credentialing include digital badges, nano-degrees, verified certificates, stackable credentials, and micro-credentials. While “traditional” certifications continue to serve the needs of many credentialing enterprises…I was a contributor to this white paper on micro-credentials. Specifically about our IAAP WAS Exam.
The emergence of alternative credentials is well documented as part of the credentialing landscape, and in some instances redefining its future. Some of these evolving forms of credentialing include digital badges, nano-degrees, verified certificates, stackable credentials, and micro-credentials. While “traditional” certifications continue to serve the needs of many credentialing enterprises, models of micro-credentials are emerging as enterprises make the business case for adding micro-credentials to their portfolio of credential offerings.
This guide provides several unique approaches and information for the development and implementation of micro-credentials.Other authors -
