OSPI, Bellevue Community College team up to

train educators in Microsoft Office

New economy merits training in industry practices, software

The Office of the Superintendent of Public Instruction (OSPI) has selected the Educator-to-Educator IT Institute (E2E) at Bellevue Community Collegeï¿½s Northwest Center for Emerging Technologies (NWCET) to train high school teachers for certification as Microsoft Office User Specialists.

The certification, which is highly recommended by OSPI for high school business and information-technology (IT) instructors, would document teachersï¿½ proficiency with advanced technical skills that are increasingly vital to their studentsï¿½ future success. In addition to training on Microsoft Office computer programs such as Word and Excel, the program provides training on standardized curriculum, developed by NWCET, for teaching these applications at the high school level.

The Educator-to-Educator IT Institute and OSPI plan to train up to 1,400 business-IT teachers in Washington State. One- and two-day training sessions will be scheduled from April through December 2001 at locations throughout the state.

MOUS certification has set the first global standard for desktop productivity.ï¿½ The performance-based certification is intended to validate oneï¿½s productivity for corporations, academic institutions, staffing agencies and training organizations.

Two corporations ï¿½ Boston-based Course Technology, a Thomson Learning Company, and ProsoftTraining.com, of Austin, Tex. ï¿½ are donating software and other teaching materials to the project.

The Centerï¿½s Educator-to-Educator Institute (E2E) provides educators at all levels with professional development in the area of information technology.
