Join in to learn about the PAGER model and TTESS rubric as well as resources that support each level of tech integration and familiarity for staff and students. Leave with strategies, look-fors, and guidance to help teachers move up the TTESS chart and become more familiar with modern practices that integrate instructional technology to elevate student learning.

Technology Applications Timely Topic: Verification of Competency
“We see that the list of approved educator certifications for technology applications includes a statement about ‘verification of competency.’ How are LEAs supposed to verify competency to teach technology applications?”
The list of certifications to allow an assignment in technology applications for PK–grade 5 and grades 6–8 can be found in the following subchapters Texas Administrative Code:
In both lists, the phrase “verification of competency” is left intentionally broad to provide LEAs the flexibility to locally determine the competency of an instructor. This may be done through many various methods. Neither TEA nor the State Board for Educator Certification (SBEC) define how LEAs should make this determination.
