ISTE Standards for Educators in the classroom.pptx

How to incorporate ISTE Standards on a Classroom level.

1. ISTE Standards for Educators Learning Module: Introduction to the standards

2. Objectives Introduce the standards Review and Application of standards Assessment By the end of this course, the goal is that you will be able to understand how the ISTE Standards and indicators can inform instructional practice, be used to approach problems of practice and strengthen student learning experiences, and transform teaching and learning.

4. ISTE Student Standards - Misconceptions

5. Themes Across the Standards  Learners . Students are empowered learners who take an active role in choosing, achieving and demonstrating competency. Educators are learners who continue to improve their practice by learning from and with others as they explore new practices to improve student learning. Leaders are connected learners as they model and promote continuous learning for themselves and others. All learners are self-driven goal-setters, creators of new knowledge and learning artifacts and designers of learning experiences.  Leaders . Leadership comes from many people in different roles. Administrators are charged with being empowering leaders. This leader looks for expertise in others to empower that person to lead using their strengths. The educator seeks out opportunities to lead others and support students to be empowered leaders themselves. The student standards encourage students to assume various roles as global collaborators and to lead their peers by demonstrating good digital practices. All leaders are informed by research to make strong choices.  Collaborators . If we rely only on the knowledge we personally hold, our work is limited. When we collaborate, our knowledge is amplified and learning happens. Collaboration is crucial for all roles. This is highlighted in the names of the standards, such as global collaborator in the ISTE standards for students and collaborator in the ISTE standards for educators. However, collaboration is woven throughout each standard and set of standards. For example, education leaders cannot effect change without collaboration; educators cannot learn without collaboration and students cannot gain the skills to become creative communicators without collaboration.  Digital citizens. In every role, we are all citizens of a digital world. This is a strong thread throughout the standards because we must model and advocate for safe, legal and ethical digital practices. Students of all ages recognize the rights, responsibilities and opportunities of living, learning and working in an interconnected digital world. Educators inspire students to positively contribute to and responsibly participate in the digital world. Leaders model and promote digital citizenship in their schools and districts while embodying the characteristic of equity champion. All digital citizens are equitable in their decisions, actions and interactions.  THE STANDARDS SHOW THE CHARACTERISTICS AND QUALITIES THAT A PERSON IN EACH ROLE WILL DEMONSTRATE, SUCH AS DESIGNER, LEADER, AND LEARNER. EACH SET OF ISTE STANDARDS WAS DEVELOPED WITH THE GOAL OF EFFECTIVELY INCORPORATING TECHNOLOGY INTO PK–12 SCHOOLS.  WHILE EACH SET OF STANDARDS IS DIFFERENT, COMMON THEMES CONNECT ALL THREE SETS. ALSO, THERE ARE MANY INTERCONNECTED CHARACTERISTICS ACROSS THE STANDARDS THAT APPEAR SLIGHTLY DIFFERENT DEPENDING ON THE ROLE BUT STILL HOLD TRUE TO THE CORE QUALITIES THAT EACH PERSON WILL EMULATE. 

6. ISTE Standards and You

7. ISTE Standards for Educators These standards were designed to guide educators as they in turn guide their students to be critical thinkers, designers and leaders in the 21 st century. They are meant to provide a framework in which the work you are already doing can easily dovetail into. They will be some standards that are easier to implement than others. Some will take time and practice. This framework is meant to support all content areas and can be modified for all grades.

8. Educator Standards in Brief Learner: Educators continually improve their practice by learning from and with others and exploring proven and promising practices that leverage technology to improve student learning. Leader : Educators seek out opportunities for leadership to support student empowerment and success and to improve teaching and learning.  Citizen: Educators inspire students to positively contribute to and responsibly participate in the digital world. Collaborator: Educators dedicate time to collaborate with both colleagues and students to improve practice, discover and share resources and ideas, and solve problems.  Designer : Educators design authentic, learner-driven activities and environment that recognize and accommodate learner variability.  Facilitator: Educators facilitate learning with technology to support student achievement of the ISTE Standards for Students. Analyst: Educators understand and use data to drive their instruction and support students in achieving their learning goals. 

9. Learner Overview Educators continually improve their practice by learning from and with others and exploring proven and promising practices that leverage technology to improve student learning. Learner 1a - The educator will... Set professional learning goals to explore and apply pedagogical approaches made possible by technology and reflect on their effectiveness. Learner 1b - The educator will... Pursue professional interests by creating and actively participating in local and global learning networks. Learner 1c - The educator will... Stay current with research that supports improved student learning outcomes, including findings from the learning sciences.

10. Learner in Practice Set Smart goals around your own professional Learning Goals. These goals are meant to grow your knowledge of Technology use in Teaching and Learning. Take a class to learn a new skill, App or Tool, participate in a webinar, attend a conference, subscribe to a professional magazine, etc. Join social Media, follow EDTECH orgs, people and topics. Engage in groups and conversations that expand your network to include local and global educators, companies, organizations, and people who you can learn from and share knowledge with. Twitter and ISTE Connects are great places to start. Learn about emerging and established best practices through reviews and research. Using Google Scholar or Professional EDTECH Sites to learn about innovative research on teaching and learning techniques and strategies.

11. Learner Reflection Questions How is technology reflected in your professional learning goals?  How do you actively participate in local or global networks?  How do you stay up to date on trends and research? 

12. Leader Overview Educators seek out opportunities for leadership to support student empowerment and success and to improve teaching and learning. Leader 2A - The educator will...

Collaborator 4d - The educator will... Demonstrate cultural competency when communicating with students, parents and colleagues and interact with them as co-collaborators in student learning.

19. Collaborator in Practice Establish or Join a PLN/PLC which focuses on increasing the use of EDTECH Tools. Make it a practice to introduce new tech tools and learn with your students to develop best practices. Use technology to connect your students with other students who are from diverse backgrounds and locations. Help students to broaden their knowledge of other cultures and communities. Find new and creative ways to engage community members who are from other cultures and backgrounds to improve parental involvement for student advocacy and success.

20. Collaborator Reflection Questions How do you use technology to collaborate? Have you ever co-learned with students about a new tool? What were the challenges or successes? How might you use a virtual connection to connect or collaborate for teaching or learning? How can EdTech remove cultural barriers or improve teaching and learning?

Create lessons in which students can display and share their learning products virtually and share with others. Use creative methods to incorporate the design process or scientific method in the learning process to increase critical and computational thinking. Use rubrics to expand ways of expressing knowledge and show skill proficiency.

26. Facilitator Reflection Questions How do students take ownership of their own learning goals? How do you manage students in digital platforms, virtual environments or in hands-on makerspaces in the field? How might you use design thinking or computational thinking frameworks in your own classroom? How do you model and nurture creativity in your classroom?
