K-12 Computer Technology Educator Certification
Coordinator: Dr. Royce Robertson, medk12comptech@plymouth.edu
B.S., Western Michigan University; M.Ed., CAGS, Plymouth State University; Ed.D Argosy University-Sarasota
NCATE and other professional organizations across the country have repeatedly emphasized the importance of technology in the classroom for both educators and students. As a result, the New Hampshire Department of Education has created standards for technology educator certification. Plymouth's College of Graduate Studies has responded to these new standards by updating the Computer Technology Educator concentration in our Elementary and Secondary Education Master of Education degree. This concentration prepares educators to use computers and related technologies to improve their ability to integrate technology into their curriculum and classroom, while simultaneously enhancing the educator's professional growth and productivity. This concentration is designed around International Society for Technology in Education (ISTE) basic competency standards in educational computing and technology literacy, as well as the new competencies for New Hampshire certification for Technology Educator.
