• Advisory Committee met to:
  • clarify CTC Performance Standards

  • solidify Certification Documentation
  • set standards to certify educators at Mentor/Leadership levels

Phase II

• Districts recommended Level Three Mentor Leadership candidates.
• Level Three candidates were trained in Level One and Level Two Standards.
• Level Three candidates demonstrated their proficiencies.
• Level Three candidates assembled their portfolios and submitted them to the Advisory Committee.
• Advisory Committee reviewed portfolios of Mentor/Leadership candidates.

Phase III (Currently)

• Level Three certified trainers lead technology inservices in their respective school districts (or other school districts in the county utilizing the Level One and/or Level Two standards.
• Trainers assess educators who meet Level One and/or Level Two proficiencies.
• Level One and Level Two candidates apply for certificate(s) from SLOCOE through a Level Three certified trainer.
