This is a great question, Juliann.

I have a few ideas and encourage you to share yours through the #ISTEinCT tag/campaign.

I would start with an analysis of how your district technology plan addresses digital learning. If you do not have a plan, I would start with this:

A total of 41 districts in Connecticut are “Future Ready” pledged. Districts can use a host of free, online planning tools that help leadership teams set goals and track progress across these realms:

This needs to be a team effort, in close partnership with curriculum leads, school administrators, and central administration, not just another task for you.

For a deeper dive on ISTE, I would take a look at the attached Age Band Articulations and the research behind the Standards. Also, if you are an ISTE member, you can download for free their guide to the Standards, including sample lessons and units:

ISTE Standards for Students — Practical Guide for Learning with Technology

I hope this helps you get started, and I look forward to hearing what others are doing to support the Standards.

Best,

Doug

Subject: [CASL-L] ISTE Standards

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,
