Instructional Technologies & Digital Media Literacy Sixth-Year Certificate

The Sixth-Year Certificate in Instructional Technologies & Digital Media Literacy is designed to serve practicing teachers who hold master's degrees and K-12 certification in Connecticut or similar certification in a different state.  The certificate program consists of a planned sequence of 36 credits.  Thirty of these credits are required of all candidates; the final 6 credits are a Digital or Online Portfolio, designed to be an exit requirement.  Students' choices for coursework are limited because the specialized nature of the knowledge bases to which the students will be exposed and that they will be expected to execute demands that they develop a highly-structured, sequential knowledge base in a short amount of time.  The program is designed to be taken in sequence and be completed in one calendar year.
