🚀 NEW Opportunity for TETA Members: Join the CETL Certification Cohort!

TETA is excited to announce a new professional learning opportunity for members looking to advance their careers in educational technology leadership! We're launching a CETL Cohort Group—a small, focused team of 10 members (first come, first served) who will study together and prepare to take the CoSN Certified Education Technology Leader (CETL®) exam.

For just $200, participating members will receive:

  • 📘 Textbook – Certified EdTech Leadership
  • 📝 CETL Exam Fee – Paid by TETA (a $499 value!)
  • 🤝 Monthly Cohort Study Sessions – Collaborate, learn, and grow with your peers
     

🧠 What is the CETL Certification?

The Certified Education Technology Leader (CETL®) certification, offered by CoSN (Consortium for School Networking), is a nationally recognized credential that signifies mastery in education technology leadership. It validates a leader’s knowledge in three essential skill areas:

  1. Leadership & Vision
  2. Understanding the Educational Environment
  3. Managing Technology & Support Resources
     

This certification is ideal for current and aspiring technology directors, CTOs, instructional technology leaders, and edtech decision-makers in K-12 education.
