The Educational Technology Endorsement program is founded on a contemporary view of education, integrating theory and practice to reflect a consensus of what graduate students should know and be able to do. The program is organized around the National Board for Professional Teaching Standards that are widely used as the basis for teacher portfolios. In addition, the program emphasizes leading edge classroom technology, new developments in curriculum, learning and motivation theory, and a culminating practical school-based project.

The 20-semester-hour program is marked by a high degree of flexibility and technological mediation.  While most of the program is campus-based, selected courses are taught incorporating distance learning. Completion of the Educational Technology courses and prerequisites leads to earning the NP endorsement.
