| The Lexington School District One Teacher Technology Competency Assessment
for newly hired certified staff will be revised beginning in the 2009-2010
school year. This revision will align the district’s required technology
competencies with the State Department of Education’s required level
of competency. The new assessment will assure that teachers meet the State
Department of Education’s required level within the first two years
of employment. The new assessment will be divided into two parts (Part A
and Part B.) Part A will be the current TTCA, Essential Level 1 and will
be successfully completed by all certified staff during the first year of
employment with Lexington County School District One. Part B will include
the current TTCA, Expected Level 2 and will be completed by all certified
staff before the end of the second year of employment with Lexington County
School District One. The employee will then begin a cycle for technology
certification which will be aligned to the teacher certificate expiration
date.
All current certified staff must complete Lexington School District One’s
TTCA Expected Level 2 by June 30, 2011 in order to meet the State Department
of Education’s required level of competency. The Lexington School
District One requirements will be waived for any new certified employee
who documents Level 3 status on the State Department of Education’s
ePortfolio System beginning in the 2009-2010 school year. |
