In 2023, the SDE removed the requirements for Certified Staff to maintain Technology Proficiency. As a result, GCS is no longer tracking or requiring technology proficiency records in Lawson Global HR.

While the state no longer requires teachers to carry technology proficiency designation, it remains crucial to cultivate and enhance the instructional technology skills for future growth and adaptability for both teachers and students. Therefore, the Instructional Technology Department will still be offering Professional Development training, as well as, graduate level courses throughout the year for Certified Staff to maintain their teaching certifications.
