Certifying Instructors
Your faculty and staff posses years of real-world teaching experience, but do they have hands-on experience working with the technologies they teach? Can they relate the strengths and weaknesses of software applications, or do they know alternative problem-solving strategies for software use?
Today's community college instructors need to have a depth of knowledge that goes well beyond what’s being taught. Remember, constant updating and upgrading of instructor skills ensures that quality training is imparted to every student every time.
Many community colleges already require their instructors to be certified in the courses they instruct. Others, encourage their staff to apply to participate in extra-curricular programs such as Microsoft® Office Specialist Master Instructor Certification or IC³ Authorized Instructor Certification.
Becoming a Certiport Center offering the Office Specialist program, ensures your college has qualified and well-trained instructors, uses the latest Microsoft software and courseware, and has a conducive learning environment. Offering IC³ demonstrates your commitment to instructor improvement while expanding the use of technology in the classroom.
