COE Technology Plan Standards

Pre-Service and Graduate Student Standards (Both defined as teachers below)

The ISTE Foundation Standards reflect professional studies in education that provide fundamental concepts and skills for applying information technology in educational settings. All candidates seeking initial certification or endorsements in teacher preparation programs should have opportunities to meet the educational technology foundations standards. The following are the approved ISTE NETS for Teachers Standards.

Educational Technology Standards and Performance Indicators for All Teachers

The COE chose to build on the NETS for Students and the ISTE NETS for Teachers (NETS•T). Both standards focus on pre-service teacher education, define the fundamental concepts, knowledge, skills, and attitudes for applying technology in educational settings. All candidates seeking certification or endorsements in teacher preparation should meet these educational technology standards. It is the responsibility of faculty across the university to provide opportunities for teacher candidates to meet these standards.

The six standards areas with performance indicators listed below are designed to be general enough to be customized to fit state, university, or district guidelines and yet specific enough to define the scope of the topic. Performance indicators for each standard provide specific outcomes to be measured when developing a set of assessment tools. The standards and the performance indicators also provide guidelines for teachers currently in the classroom.
