PBS TeacherLine/ISTE Certificate Program
PBS TeacherLine teamed up with ISTE to certify teachers who lead the way in classroom technology integration. The PBS Capstone program has earned full alignment with every standard and performance indicator making up the NETS for Teachers 2000 benchmarks. Learners who successfully complete the program will be awarded a joint certificate from ISTE and PBS TeacherLine indicating their proficiency in ISTE's NETS•T 2000.
