ISTE Certification
Join our newly updated ISTE Educator Certification program.
The International Society for Technology in Education (ISTE) is a passionate community of global educators who believe in the power of technology to transform teaching and learning, accelerate innovation and solve tough problems in education.
Two-Phase Certification Program
Enjoy the convenience of a completely online program offering three years of certification.
ISTE has updated the Certified Educator program, it is fully online and now consists of two phases. Participants must complete both phases in order to earn their certification. Certification is open to all educators—teachers, curriculum coaches, library media specialists, principals etc. Certification is valid for three years.
Phase 1: Complete Online Course (14 weeks)
Participants post in discussion boards and complete other activities as assigned. Participants can plan to spend 5 hours per week on average completing the activities.
The course is facilitated by Eduscape instructors who have earned their ISTE Certified Educator badge and have received additional training from ISTE to be qualified as ISTE Certified Trainers.
Phase 2: Build Your Portfolio (6 months)
Eduscape supports participants in this phase with monthly office hours and a private Facebook group that is monitored by Eduscape ISTE Certified Trainers.
