11. Maryland Teacher Technology Standards: Davina Pruitt-Mentle
Local School Systems
LSS Technology Plan must be developed
Indicate how working towards the state tech plan
Current focus is on what can be measured
Infrastructure: ratio of computer to student
Internet access
Computer specifications
Assessment database

12. Maryland Teacher Technology Standards: Davina Pruitt-Mentle
Teachers & LSS
Teachers are voluntarily acquiring the knowledge to meet the standards
LSS provide PD activities
Many lean towards online PD tutorials and/or courses
April 4, 2003
Maryland Teacher Technology Standards: Davina Pruitt-Mentle

13. Maryland Teacher Technology Standards: Davina Pruitt-Mentle
Pre-service
Require all teacher candidates and new hires to demonstrate proficiency in MTTS
Perform at a proficient level on the new performance assessments developed through the “Preparing Tomorrow’s Teachers to Use Technology” Catalyst Grant (or on performance assessments of equivalent rigor)
Demonstrated through classes and portfolios (hard and electronic)
April 4, 2003
Maryland Teacher Technology Standards: Davina Pruitt-Mentle

14. Maryland Teacher Technology Standards: Davina Pruitt-Mentle
College of Education
Programs will meet the technology related requirements set by the state
By 2003, teacher education programs aligned with MTTS in order to be approved
NCATE accreditation also applies
Based on ISTE/NETS*T standards
MTTS standards are more rigorous and therefore if the college/pre-service program addresses state standards, will also address NCATE
