Education Technology Standards and Performance Indicators for All Teachers

National Educational Technology Standards for Teachers (NETS-T), developed by the International Society for Technology in Education (ISTE) and being adopted by the National Council for Accreditation of Teacher Education (NCATE), defines 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 at cooperationg schools to provide opportunities for teacher candidates to meet these standards.  The six standard areas contain performance indicators that provide specific outcomes to be measured when developing a set of assessments tools.  The standards and the performance indicators also provide guidelines for teachers currently in the classroom.  This courseware library contains training designed to address the performance indicators included in NETS-T and help educators acquire the subject matter needed to meet the standard.
