The International Society for Technology in Education (ISTE) is the premier nonprofit membership organization serving educators and education leaders committed to empowering connected learners in a connected world. ISTE serves more than 100,000 education stakeholders throughout the world.
ISTE announced recently that it is seeking public comment on the first draft of the refreshed ISTE Standards for Teachers. More than 600 individuals from around the world provided insight into the contents of this initial draft and, by the time the second draft is released in early 2017, ISTE anticipates that thousands more will have participated in the process. For more information, visit the ISTE Teacher Refresh Page.
HOW: Similar to the recent refresh of the ISTE Standards for Students, the refresh process for the ISTE Standards for Teachers is open and inclusive, soliciting input from educators around the world at every step. To help educators participate in the process, ISTE today released a free toolkit for facilitating a public forum, Twitter chat, or conference session with colleagues to provide feedback to the process. The toolkit includes a facilitator’s guide, surveys for gathering feedback and annotated presentation slides. For more information, visit the ISTE site.
WHERE: The first draft of the refreshed ISTE Standards for Teachers is available for comment here.
WHEN: The refreshed ISTE Standards for Teachers are slated for release in June 2017 at ISTE 2017 in San Antonio. At that time, ISTE will kick off the refresh process for the ISTE Standards for Administrators.
WHAT: The ISTE Standards provide a framework for learning, teaching and leading that is amplified by technology. These digital age standards are not “technology standards,” but, rather, are a road map for educators worldwide as they navigate decisions about curriculum, instruction, professional learning and how to transform pedagogy with technology.
