Teacher Educator Technology Competencies

The Teacher Educator Technology Competencies (TETCs) were developed to support the redesign of teaching in teacher education programmes so that all educators are prepared to integrate technology into their teaching. The competencies are presented in an article by Foulger, T.S., Graziano, K.J., Schmidt-Crawford, D. & Slykhuis, D.A. (2017) in the Journal of Technology and Teacher Education (25(4)). The article presents a chart consisting of 12 teacher educator competencies. The competencies range from (1) use effective strategies for teaching online and/or in blended/hybrid learning environment to (12) apply basic troubleshooting skills to resolve technology issues. Each of these competencies is supported by several functions/technological activities that can be used to asses and provide direction in the development of teacher technology competencies.
