The ISTE Standards are a framework for innovation in education. These standards help educators and education leaders worldwide prepare learners to thrive in work and life. During my time in the Digital Education Leadership program, my courses and blog posts have examined each standard in more detail.  

On the pages in this section you’ll find information about each standard, but also my own thoughts and evidence of how I’ve met these standards in my work as a higher education administrator.
