> ·         Educator <https://www.iste.org/standards/for-educators> and
> Administrator Standards(Coming Soon): Leverage these as best practices for
> teachers and district leaders, and as a foundation for supporting the
> Student Standards.

> ·         Connecticut Community of Practice: We encourage educators to
> get involved and start sharing their own digital learning materials, lesson
> plans, and experiences today via social media using the hashtag #
> *ISTEinCT*.
>
> ·         National Communities of Practice and Resources: Educators and
> leaders should consider joining ISTE
> <https://www.iste.org/membership/become-a-member> and state affiliate CECA
> <http://www.cecact.org> to take advantage of the many professional
> learning opportunities and networks that these organizations provide. From
> blogs <https://www.iste.org/explore>, books
> <https://www.iste.org/resources/searchresults?mediaType=book>, and
> journals <https://www.iste.org/learn/edtech-research> to professional
> learning networks by topic <https://www.iste.org/learn/about-iste-plns>,
> ISTE has a wealth of practical and inspiring resources to support digital
> learning.
>
>
>
> Starting later this summer, the Commission and its partners will provide
> additional resources and learning opportunities, including the following:
>
>
>
> ·         Monthly Spotlight on a Standard: Starting in September with the
> Empowered Learner Standard, we will highlight a standard of the month with
> accompanying resources and best practices.
>
> ·         Policy: In partnership with CABE, we will be releasing guidance
> on how to support digital learning at the Board policy level.
>
> ·         Teacher Certification
> <https://www.iste.org/learn/iste-certification>: Starting this summer,
> teachers may pursue professional certification in the ISTE Standards for
> Educators. The Commission is working with ISTE and Connecticut's
> institutions of higher education to support the training and assessment
> that accompany this program.

>
> Last but certainly not least, we encourage you to join the standards
> conversation in person at the CECA - CASL 2018 Conference, October 21 - 22
