    Dear List Members...

    First, please excuse the cross-postings. I am soliciting
    as many responses to my questions as possible.

    Now that I have asked many lists interested in education,
    training, and teaching issues regarding their state's/ countries
    technical competency requirements for teachers (all disciplines) seeking
    licensure (certification)... the feature column will continue weekly
    with this thread posting responses. A summary of submittals will also
    be posted.

    New Feature and Previous Features found on left navigational bar.
    Next logical question... how do universities assure governmental bodies
    that their preservice teachers *are* technically competent?

    1. What courses are offered?

    2. How is competency testing assured and
    documented?

    Related question...

    3. How are employers recent graduates (technical, vocational,
    community colleges, universities)... not just
    teachers... assured that job candidates are technically
    skilled (competent)

    For a computer introductory competency syllabus see:

    http://votech.miningco.com/library/weekly/mpreviss.htm

    Computer competency is just one piece of technical competency.
