TAKING THE CTAP2 PROFICIENCY
ASSESSMENT:
The Proficiency Assessment is an on-line, self-assessment tool that allows educators to
determine their level of technology proficiency - Introductory, Intermediate, or
Proficient. The self-assessment is based upon rubrics established in each area of
technology competency and aligned with the California Commission on Teacher
Credentialing (CTC) "Factors to Consider", which is the Technology Standard for a
California K-12 Preliminary Teaching Credential. Based on the results of the assessment,
educators can view and select training opportunities that will advance their proficiency.
While the results for the individual teacher are private, charts can be displayed showing
the overall level for teachers at a school site as well as within a district, county, region, or
for the entire state.
After you log in to the CTAP2 Web site, take the Technology Proficiency Assessment by
click on the My Proficiency Assessment tab.
Figure 3- 1
The categories on the survey are taken directly from the CTAP Technology Proficiency
Preliminary Profile. Each category includes a group of sub-categories. Select a subcategory to complete the survey by clicking on its title. Click on the icon in the first
column to display the CTC Technology Standards and/or the ISTE NETS Standards
addressed by this assessment. The last column will show the date you last took the
survey. The category chart may also be viewed from this screen by clicking on the View
Chart icon.

If you are required to prove that you have taken the Proficiency Assessment, a printout of
the My Proficiency Assessment main page (Figure 6-1), which has your name and shows
your most recent assessment completion dates, will provide appropriate proof.
Figure 3- 2
To complete the survey, click the box next to the survey item that most accurately
describes your skills. It is better to underestimate your skills, especially the first time you
fill out the survey. If you are not sure, do not select an item. Once you have selected all
that apply, click Record & go to Next Sub-Category to go to the next sub-category and
its questions or click Record & Return to Menu to go back to the Categories list.

TECHNOLOGY USE SURVEY:
The Technology Use Survey is an on-line tool that allows site, district, county and state
administrators to gather information regarding certificated staff's use of technology tools.
The survey addresses four areas of teacher technology usage:
1) Use of technology tools for classroom management and instruction;
2) Their student's use of technology tools for classroom assignments;
3) Their professional development preferences, and
4) Their technical support experiences.
From any page, click on the My Technology Use Survey tab.
Figure 4- 1
The Technology Use Survey has four categories. There are questions about: Personal
Use, Student Use, Staff Development Needs and Technical Support. Click on the name
of the Technology Use Survey category to view the survey questions. If you have taken
the survey on a previous occasion, the date of that survey will appear in the right hand
column.
If you are required to prove that you have taken the Technology Use Survey, a printout of
the My Technology Use Survey main page (Figure 12-1), which has your name and
shows your most recent survey completion dates, will provide appropriate proof.
