ISTE Standards for Students

The 2016 ISTE Standards for Students were designed by educators across the nation representing a variety of curricular background and grade levels. In fact, the ITI Task Force was given an opportunity in January 2016 to review and provide in-depth feedback on the development of these standards during a virtual session led by Carolyn Sykora, ISTE Standards Director.

The ISTE Standards provide a framework for learning in-depth, digital age skills and attributes with learning that is amplified through technology. Each standard emphasizes pedagogy enhanced with technology to support all learners in engaging and thriving in a connected, digital world. The reward, however, will be educators who skillfully mentor and inspire students to amplify learning with technology and challenge them to be agents of their own learning.
