Mano--
The guide is a PDF document, the Instructional Technologist information starts on page 116 : http://www.teaching.state.pa.us/teaching/lib/teaching/354guide.pdf
Briefly, there are 13 areas where competency must be demonstrated:
I. Knowing the Content:
IA-- Identify, select and maintain software and hardware. IB-- Integrate technology into curriculum. IC-- Manage technology programs (technical aspects). ID-- Research, solve problems, develop materials.
II. Performances:
IIA-- Manage technology services (as educational services).
IIB-- Plan, prepare and deliver services based on educational standards.
IIC-- Select, implement and adapt technology to teaching methods and
curriculum.
IID-- Select, develop and administer assessments using technology.
IIE-- Develop leadership techniques.
III. Professionalism:
IIIA-- Be aware of organizations, publications and resources. IIIB-- Observe professional conduct and behavior. IIIC-- Collaborate with colleagues. IIID-- Communicate effectively with the school community.
There are college programs for both teachers and techies that aim to fill
in the gaps. Certification in PA is accomplished by having the
certification representative at a college evaluate your life experience
and academic work against the state checklist, and sending a form in to
the state for you. After three years of service under a level-one
certification, the holder must apply to the state for level-two
certification. There is also an Instructional Technology Specialist
Supervisory certification.

Folks--
Pennsylvania has a certification for Instructional Technology Specialist
(which I hold). I've heard that New York is currently working on one, and
supposedly drawing liberally from the NETS standards.
The PA standard is not only based on knowledge of technology, but
knowledge of instructional theory and being able to put technology to
work. It's also broad enough to encompass the career goals of technical
people as well as teachers. There are many universities in the state
offering programs leading to certification.

Perhaps this is part of the reason we don't yet have a Tech Coordinator
certification:
†
With the wide range of titles in this field, Technology Coordinator
could mean any number of things.† What specific responsibilities are
you assuming this person would have?† Are we talking about an IS
manager, a tech curriculum person, or something else?† I can forward
you a few book titles if I knew the specifics. †

Subject: [sigtc] Tech Coordinator's Handbook
Hello All SIG-TC members,
†
I would like to find out if anyone knows of a current publication that
is advertised as (or could serve as) a ?¨handbook?Æ or ?¨guidebook?Æ for
current or prospective Technology Coordinators. I am considering a
manuscript that advertises itself in just this way, and I would like to
know what (if any) competing products are already on the market ?± and
if, in your opinion, there would be a market for such a book. In the
absence of a standardized certification program for Technology
Coordinators, the authors seek to identify the essential qualifications
and experience that Tech Coordinators should have, and the crucial
issues and demands that they are likely to face on the job. What do you
think? All responses are welcome!
†
Thank you for your time!

Scott Harter ††
