Ed.D. ITEC Overview
Certified in Instructional Technology?
If NO, apply for the Certification Track of the Ed.D. in Instructional Technology.
If YES, apply for the Advanced Track of the Ed.D. in Instructional Technology.
Certification Track (Technology Coach)
The Certification Track is designed for educators who are not currently certified in Instructional Technology. The Certification Track leads to the new S-7 certification (service field) in Instructional Technology and increases a Georgia T-6 certification to a T-7. To qualify for a certificate upgrade and salary increase (based upon the salary structure of your employing school system), you must pass the GACE assessment in Instructional Technology and add the new field to your certificate. This track can also be completed by candidates whose careers do not require Georgia certification (e.g., educators in independent, charter, or IE2 school districts; and educators outside of Georgia), but they wish to earn an advanced degree in Instructional Technology based on the PSC Instructional Technology Standards and the ISTE standards for Technology Coaches.

Advanced Track (Technology Leadership)

The Advanced Track can also be completed by candidates whose careers do not require Georgia certification (e.g., educators in independent, charter, or IE2 school districts; and educators outside of Georgia), but they wish to earn an advanced degree in Instructional Technology based on the ISTE Technology Director Standards and the CoSN Framework of Essential Skills for K-12 CTOs.
