I like your list. Part A we cover with the ACE (Level I and II). Part B can be
accomplished with a resume/portfolio of past work.
I was also considering a curriculum development component. I'd have to be
careful, cause my own standards are pretty high here. I saw a training manual
the other day that didn't contain a single graphic or screen shot. Just pages
of typed text, all in the same font, very bland and boring. To me, that is
unacceptable.
The Delivery portion is the tough one. In general, I don't agree that a phone
interview accomplishes this. I know I feel much more comfortable with some
visual aides (whiteboard, demo machine, etc.) to work with to enhance the
demonstrations. The phone interview would miss this.
Which leads me back to the videotaped sessions. I agree these can be rehearsed
with "planted students". The camera-shy element is there, but I'm not sure this
should be an excuse. The other option is a special "Certification Seminar"
where presentations are made and critiqued.
