[CASL-L] ISTE Standards

[Tichy, Joan]

Last summer we converted our K-4 curriculum to using the ISTE Standards as our priority standards and the Computer Science Standards and AASL Standards as our support standards.  The transition was well received by our district.   We still do everything we did before in a more efficient manner and we added coding, maker spaces and computer science.   We were doing much of this work without documenting it in our curriculum.  I was afraid we would lose the opportunity to grow if we did not accept the challenge of incorporating these skills.    We are media specialists and this is a perfect fit.     I believe we made department more relevant in a critical time for media specialists and libraries/Learning Commons...Best wishes, Joan Tichy

Hello fellow CASL members,

Yesterday I shared the email about the adoption of the ISTE standards in CT with my administration. I got a reply from my school president asking:
"Can we get assurance that we are implementing these standards as appropriate?"
I responded to him how I, as the librarian am implementing these standards but, they go way beyond what we do as librarians.
So I am asking you, how are you making sure that they are implemented in your schools? Do you have any plans?
Thanks for  you help,
