 * Endorsement** **components**:

Please consider the following and include them in your endorsement. To understand how endorsements are indicated in rule currently, you may want to reference these at: []

For your reference, the current endorsement is found at: []

1) # Semester hours only or may it include professional development or documented work experiences? - See sample from Colorado: []

I think 18 hours should be required.

2) Years of experience or internship necessary prior to obtaining endorsement? I think that at least two years of teaching experience should be a requirement to get the endorsement. Teachers out in classrooms who want to come back to get the endorsement will have a better background to train teachers how to use technology than those who have not had any classroom experience.

3) Strands (see suggested strands and you may want to add or delete) and further clarify each with indicators (reference ISTE standards and links as referenced in each endorsement)

I found this document that Michigan uses for a Technology Endorsement at:

[]

It is very similar to the Colorado document. I like how the form is set up so teachers wanting the endorsement have to write in a n arrative explaining how they have demonstrated each standard with links to products and exhibits.
