Canyons School District’s educational technology professional development (PD) has been designed to provide a personalized-learning and competency-based experience for educators. This means that the PD has moved away from required seat time/attendance hours to a format in which educators are able to choose a learning pathway and pace that works best for them. Credit is earned through the submission of assignments that allow educators to demonstrate knowledge, understanding, and mastery of specific skills and is no longer based on seat time. This updated format empowers educators to make decisions about their learning experience, such as:

• how you acquire the necessary skills,
• when you complete the course and how long it takes,
• and what you submit to demonstrate mastery.

There are currently three pathways for teachers to take in order to earn their ed tech endorsement: CSD’s Traditional Endorsement,  Competency-Based Endorsement in partnership with UEN, and Microcredentials. Review the information below to determine the pathway that is right for you.
