| Technology Application Standards for Teachers
According to the Texas Education Agency (TEA): All New Teachers: The State Board for Educator Certification (SBEC) has approved educator certification standards in Technology Applications for all beginning educators. The standards have been developed for inclusion in SBEC-approved educator preparation programs. They are a part of the new ExCET test frameworks in Pedagogy and Professional Responsibilities. The new ExCET tests are scheduled for implementation in fall 2002. All Teachers: Grades 8-12 The State Board for Educator Certification (SBEC) has approved educator certification standards in Technology Applications for the secondary level. The standards have been developed for inclusion in SBEC-approved educator preparation programs. These standards will be used in the development of new ExCET test frameworks. The new Technology Applications ExCET tests (Technology Applications and Computer Science) are scheduled for implementation in fall 2003. A new update on Technology Applications and Computer Science programs is found on the SBEC web site. It is the belief of SISD that it is imperative that teachers familiarize themselves with these new standards and utilize them in their daily lives so that they can meet the challenges of creating a learning environment where all students become life-long learners and contributing participants in a changing world community.
