Standards and Performance Indicators for All Teachers
Building on the NETS for Students, the ISTE NETS for Teachers (NETS-T), which focus on preservice teacher
education, define 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 across the university and at
cooperating schools to provide opportunities for teacher candidates to meet these standards.
SOCIAL, ETHICAL, LEGAL, AND HUMAN ISSUES.
Teachers understand the social,ethical,legal,and human issues surrounding the use of technology in PK-12
schools and apply those principles in practice. Teachers:
1. model and teach legal and ethical practice related to technology use.
2. apply technology resources to enable and empower learners with diverse backgrounds, characteristics, and
abilities.
3. identify and use technology resources that affirm diversity
4. promote safe and healthy use of technology resources.
5. facilitate equitable access to technology resources for all students.
