            What are ISTE Standards?


The ISTE Standards (International Society for Technology in Education 

Standards) are a set of guidelines designed to help educators, students, and 

educational leaders navigate technology effectively to improve learning and 

teaching outcomes. These standards aim to foster innovation, collaboration, and 

digital citizenship in educational environments. They are organized into several 

frameworks tailored to different roles in education:


  • ISTE Standards for Students

  • ISTE Standards for Educators

  • ISTE Standards for Education Leaders

  • ISTE Standards for Coaches

These standards are widely used in education in this digital age and promote 

skills such as  creativity, critical thinking, collaboration, and ethical digital 

practices.
