How does this process relate to teachers who will not obtain a clear credential before June 2002?
Participating in the CTAP Technology Proficiencies is a voluntary program. Pre-service teachers who go through a credential program that includes the proficiencies may still want to go through the in-service certification process. They will still need to produce artifacts (i.e. portfolio) that demonstrate these skills. Pre-service teachers receiving a preliminary credential after June 2002 will need to demonstrate technology proficiencies prior to receiving their preliminary credential. Pre-service teachers receiving a professional credential after June 2002 will need to demonstrate technology proficiencies for the professional level. Another motivation for participation is professional growth hours.
