ILTS Technology Specialist (223) · Give each week a clear focus.
8 weeks · About 6 hours per week
Unspecified - official content domain weights not published in source
Map the full ILTS Technology Specialist (223) test framework by writing out every subarea and objective in your own words, since no official domain weights are published
Inventory your current skills against that map and mark each objective as strong, shaky, or unknown
Assemble a study toolkit: one browser-based practice environment, a spreadsheet tracker, and a citation list of authoritative sources such as state edtech standards and district acceptable-use policies
Draft a baseline self-test of 40 recall questions drawn from your weakest objectives and record your score
Your checkpoint
A one-page objective map with a strong/shaky/unknown rating for every listed objective, plus a recorded baseline score
Unspecified - official content domain weights not published in source
Explain the difference between formative and summative technology integration and give two classroom examples of each
Describe how a technology specialist supports teachers through coaching cycles rather than one-off troubleshooting
Identify the major device management models (1:1, BYOD, shared carts) and list the tradeoffs of each
Practice writing short constructed responses that cite a specific scenario and a specific rationale

Your checkpoint
A two-page reference sheet covering network, privacy, accessibility, and incident response, written from memory then corrected against sources
Unspecified - official content domain weights not published in source
Design a 45-minute professional development session on one technology tool, including an objective, an activity, and an assessment

Unspecified - official content domain weights not published in source
Evaluate three learning management system features against a stated instructional need
Explain how to select and pilot a digital resource, including a small-scale trial and evaluation criteria
Describe how to integrate technology into a specific content standard without displacing the learning objective
Practice identifying the weakest distractor in multiple-choice items and justify why it is wrong
Your checkpoint
A resource selection memo recommending one tool, with pilot criteria and a rationale tied to a content standard
Unspecified - official content domain weights not published in source
Complete a full-length timed practice test under exam conditions and log every miss by objective
Re-teach yourself the three objectives with the highest miss rates using primary sources only
Build flashcards for terminology you repeatedly confuse and review them daily
Write a one-paragraph explanation of each missed item in your own words
Your checkpoint
A scored full-length practice test with an error log sorted by objective and a prioritized review list
Unspecified - official content domain weights not published in source
Re-test the prioritized objectives and confirm improvement over your week 7 error log
Take one more timed section to rebuild pacing and stamina
Review your week 1 objective map and re-rate every item to confirm coverage
Prepare test-day logistics: identification, appointment time, and permitted materials
Your checkpoint
A final objective map showing every item rated strong, plus a documented score comparison from week 1 to week 8
Milestones
Week 2: You can explain coaching-based support and device management models without notes, and your self-written practice set scores at least 70 percent
Week 4: You reproduce the network, privacy, accessibility, and incident response reference sheet from memory with no more than two factual corrections
Week 6: You deliver the 45-minute PD session within time and produce a selection memo that names explicit pilot criteria
Week 8: Your full-length practice score improves over the week 7 baseline and every objective on your map is rated strong
