CoSN’s The Framework of Essential Skills of the K-12 CTO (revised 2018) is a helpful reference for the domains and knowledge in this certification.
ACPE and CoSN are working together to develop leadership capacity within our membership.
Certified Education Technology Leader (CETL)™
For K-12 education technology leaders, earning the CETL™ certification will demonstrate to your staff, superintendent, and other stakeholders that you have mastered the knowledge and skills needed to define the vision for and successfully build 21st-century learning environments in your school district.
The CETL™ certification exam is based on The Framework of Essential Skills of the K-12 CTO, which is the body of knowledge defining the skill areas critical to today’s education technology leaders. The Framework is divided into three primary areas:
- Leadership & Vision
- Understanding the Educational Environment
- Managing Technology & Support Resources
Under each of these areas, the Framework further identifies specific responsibilities and the knowledge needed to perform these responsibilities in order to be a successful CTO in today’s educational environment. The CETL examination is aligned directly with the Framework.
