Teachers are expected to ensure that all students meet certain academic standards, including technology standards by 8th grade in Indiana. Teachers must find ways to document that students are meeting standards, and technological tools can help teachers do this efficiently. Administrators look for teachers who can navigate the shift to meeting standards.

• As a teacher, you need to ensure that all of your
students meet all the necessary standards

technology skills (NETS-S) by the end of 8th
grade
• Teachers are expected to meet certain standards, too! (more in Week 3
on that topic)
• Administrators are looking for teachers who are excellent at navigating
all of this SHIFT
• Also, you must find ways to document that your
students are meeting standards, sometimes in the
most efficient way
• Technological tools can help
• We will be looking at some of these this semester along the way
