Overview

This internationally-recognized educational technology certification is offered at a handful of Certification Authorized Providers (CAPs) across the country. CESA 2 was chosen as one of the national training centers.

Due to the extraordinary circumstances that we now face, with closures and social distancing, ISTE and CESA 2 will provide ISTE Certification fully online until further notice. Traditionally, our certification was in a blended format with two days of face to face, up to nine weeks of online asynchronous learning, and six months to create and submit a portfolio based on the ISTE Standards for Educators.

In place of the required F2F learning, learners will attend virtual sessions via Zoom with asynchronous activities to participate in between. This alternative format allows educators to continue professional learning and acquire skills to support their new roles in virtual instruction.

Please view ISTE’s FAQ document for more information about the program.
