Leading Edge Certification for Educators
Baker, Rowland
Leadership, v42 n2 p28-29 Nov-Dec 2012
For leaders of schools in the 21st century, it seems there is a never-ending demand on what they need to be doing. Just when they thought they had a handle on traditional testing and ways to improve student achievement, along comes the Common Core Standards, which change the game in many ways. The Common Core will require students to have an in-depth understanding of skills that require higher-order thinking infused with technology. But Common Core is not the only game changer on the horizon. For years, many have stressed the need to make sure the schools and districts are educating students who possess the skills needed in the 21st century. In this article, the author discusses how an alliance of educators has created technology trainings and certifications for both teachers and administrators on many of the new areas that are not being taught in the traditional credentialing programs. The Alliance has developed a certification program for teachers of blended and online classrooms, which has received raves and was featured in "Education Week," as well as many other publications.
