1 GIS Certification: How will it be used to improve education? Deidre Sullivan OSTO Workshop November 11,

2 What is GIS? Geographic Information Systems It is a science, a tool, and a software It assists in the collection, analysis, and interpretation of spatial data GIS is starting to be replaced by the use of Geospatial Technologies which includes GIS, GPS, Remote Sensing 2

3 Geospatial Technology is transforming how we think and how we do business 3

4 Increasing Skill Level What does a GIS professional look like? GIS Scientist: writes algorithms GIS Analyst: Designs and manages projects GIS Technician: works under the direction of a GIS Analyst Ancillary GIS Duties: Police and Fire Depts., Non Profits, Institutional Research City Planning, Resource Management, Marketing/Business General Public: GPS in cars, Mapquest, Google Earth, Zillow.com, general spatial literacy 4

5 So what do you need to know to be a GIS professional???? 5

6 Unique characteristics of GIS & GIS education It is a relatively new field. It is a rapidly expanding field. The technologies are evolving very rapidly. It is a science and a skill. It is taught by academics and occupational faculty. Many colleges have jumped on board and developed degree and certificate programs fairly quickly. It embodies the future of our workforce. 6

7 What are Core Competencies? They define the knowledge and skills required to carry out specific tasks that are common to a particular profession or occupation. They are critical links between the workplace and the classroom, since they connect job requirements to educational subject areas. 7

8 Benefits to establishing Core Competencies Help employers better understand and evaluate the education of potential employees Provide benchmarks for program accreditation Facilitate articulation agreements Facilitate the sharing of curriculum Develop exam-based professional certification Facilitate the placement of students in jobs and internships 8

9 How does the GIS world look at the Core Competency issue? Universities UCGIS Body of Knowledge (2006) Community Colleges DACUMs ( ) U.S. Department of Labor Geospatial Technologies Competency Model (NASA) Professional GIS Certification??? 9

10 Professional GIS Certification GIS Certification Institute (GISCI) In 1999, the Urban and Regional Information Systems Association (URISA) organization formed a committee to explore GIS certification This led to the creation of the GIS Certification Institute (GISCI) in 2004, an independent institute supported by professional organizations [501 (c)(6)]. Association of American Geographers (AAG) The National State Geographic Information Council (NSGIC), University Consortium for Geographic Information Science (UCGIS) URISA As of 11/5/08, 2,688 people certified [on 7/25/07 = 1,664] It is portfolio-based and there is no exam (YET) Application fee is $250, must be recertified every 5 years Certification is recognized by: North Carolina, Oregon, National Association of Counties 10

11 What will the future of GIS education look like? Will we have nationally accepted GIS core competencies? Will GIS/geospatial literacy be part of our general education? Will there be DOL occupational titles for GIS? Will GIS certificate and degree programs be aligned with professional certification knowledge and skill requirements? Will GIS courses easily articulate among institutions? Will we all know what we should be teaching? 11

12 The true potential of Professional Certification will not be realized unless it is able to link higher education and workforce needs to professional organizations. Workforce needs, DOL occupational titles and labor market information Higher education: Associates, Bachelors, Graduate, Certificates Professional Certification Professional Societies, Certifying Organizations [Don t develop certification criteria without a broad-based group of stakeholders] 12

13 Are we teaching the right things? 1. Are our students employable? 2. Do faculty know what they should be teaching? 3. Can our students transfer easily among institutions? 4. Do the students know what they know and know what they don t? 5. Can credit/acknowledgement be given for prior work experience? 6. Does the system allow for multiple entry and exit points? 13

14 No matter how great of a teacher we are We need to work together to accomplish these goals! 14
