17. TECHNOLOGY STANDARDS
FOR TEACHERS
NATIONAL EDUCATIONAL TECHNOLOGY
STANDARDS FOR TEACHERS (NETS-T)

18. PROFESSIONAL DEVELOPMENT COMPONENTS
• Standards for teachers
o NETS-T: NETS-T is an acronym for National
Educational Technology Standards for Teachers
o Skills-specific standards for teachers

19. INTRODUCTION TO NETS-T
ISTE CEO Don Knezek Discusses the NETS

20. STANDARDS FOR TEACHERS (NETS-T)
VERSUS INDIANA ACADEMIC STANDARDS
• I thought Indiana academic standards were for teachers?
• Why should I care about standards for my technology use
as a teacher?

21. I thought Indiana academic standards were for
teachers?
Indiana Academic Standards describe the
knowledge and skills students should acquire at
each grade-level in a subject-area. Teachers
should be aware of these standards as they
guide what should be taught/ learned in class.

22. I thought Indiana academic standards were for
teachers?
The NETS-T (National Educational Technology Standards
for Teachers) describe the skill-sets of teachers.
They specify what knowledge, skills and dispositions a
well-performing teacher should have.

23. Why should I care about standards for my
technology use as a teacher?
• Academic vs. Professional standards
o Academic “content” standards
• Led by (state or federal) government or subject-specific
professional organizations (NCTM, NSTA, NCTE, etc.)
• Examples of content standards (for K-12 students)
- State Common Core Standards (SCCS) – LA / Math
- Indiana State Academic Standards
• Teachers are expected to bring their students
academically to such levels
o Teacher professional standards (teacher professionalism)
• Standards on teacher technology use (e.g., NETS-T)
• Professional teachers should be able to perform as such
in the field

24. National Educational Technology Standards for
Teachers (NETS-T), WHAT ARE THEY?
1. Facilitate and Inspire Student Learning and Creativity
2. Design and Develop Digital-Age Learning Experiences and
Assessments
3. Model Digital Age Work and Learning
4. Promote Digital Responsibility and Citizenship
5. Engage in Professional Growth and Leadership

25. National Educational Technology Standards for
Teachers (NETS-T), WHAT ARE THEY?
Open the page NETS-T FOR TEACHERS 2008
Think-Pair-Share (5 minutes):
1. Get into groups of 3-4 (one group for each standard)
2. Choose a group leader
3. Read the standard you assigned in detail.
4. Write down three important points.
Hint: Think about the keywords mentioned in the standard and
provide us a short example/demonstration. What can be done to
meet the standard assigned to your group?
5. Your group leader will share them with the class.

26. NETS-T & W200
Let’s have a look at your e-portfolio NETS-T Standards page.

27. TEACHER PROFESSIONAL DEVELOPMENT
What to do in order to keep up with these standards as a
teacher? – NETS-T Standard #5

28. WHERE DO YOU STAND?
In Indiana, we have Professional Growth Plan (PGP)
• In Indiana, teachers can earn PGP points “to control their
own professional development and use these
experiences towards licensing renewal.”
• Professional development: teacher learning activities
• Professional Development Plan (PDP): more general term
• Professional development is done:
o Formally: Attending conferences, taking college
classes and getting advanced degrees, working and
learning on committees
o Informally: Reading on your own, experimenting with
new ideas, getting new ideas from colleagues, etc.

29. PROFESSIONAL DEVELOPMENT -FORMAL
OPTIONS MAX. PTS. PT. VALUE SAMPLE CRITERIA
VERIFICATION
College Credit 90 points 1 credit hour = Official transcript B”
15 points Accredited
college
Professional 45 points 1 hour in Certificate of Must align with
Conference workshop = 1 attendance standards and
point PGP
Educational 5 points 5 points per Certificate of Must be related
Travel travel attendance to plan
Professional 50 points 1 hour = 1 point Documentation Must service
Committees Form on formal
committee
Formal PD is required to renew your teaching license in Indiana (and Georgia)
Indiana – must have 90 points in 5 years. No requirements of how much from where…
Note: Some states give credit for PD differently

30. PROFESSIONAL DEVELOPMENT – INFORMAL
• Although informal, it is also a platform that conducts
formal training for teachers
Examples:
• PBS Teachers
• ChildTeaching
• IPBS Teacherline
• Teacher-to-teacher E-learning workshops (IE-only)
• Annenberg Learner program
• Center for the Study of Teaching and Policy
• Teacher-to-Teacher Initiative

31. PROFESSIONAL DEVELOPMENT
PROFILER PRO AND PDP
• Open the profiler pro website and login with your own
account.
• Look at the NETS-T and look at the results of the
ProfilerPro survey you took:
o You will notice that the survey is actually organized by
the standards. The results should diagnose your
strengths and areas of improvement. Interpreting the
results will guide you to set your professional
development goals.

32. HANDS ON ACTIVITY – PROFILER PRO (15 MINUTES)
ULA Demo:
1. Go to your Profiler Pro results. Save a copy of your image onto your
desktop.
2. Rename the image as profilerpro-pre
3. Open your E-Portfolio – Professional Development Page
4. From the results of your Profiler Pro, think about your strengths &
areas of Improvement and identify 3 goals!
5. Insert your image, strengths & areas of improvement and goals to
your e-portfolio - > Professional Development page!

33. PROFESSIONAL DEVELOPMENT GOAL SETTING
• Example #1
o Poor: I want to learn how to do a podcast tomorrow
o Good: I want to learn how to use Podbean to create a podcast
by the end of the semester
• Example #2
o Poor: I want to learn technology to teach my students stuff!
o Good: I want to learn Inspiration to teach my elementary
students how to count before the school year begins.
o SMART Framework
 Specific, Measurable, Attainable, Relevant, & Timely
Remember: You will provide evidence of achieving these goals at the
end of the semester!
