 Digital-Age Skills for Learning, Teaching, Leadership, and Teacher Preparation
The NETS have served as a roadmap since 1998 for improved learning and teaching. They help measure proficiency and set goals for what students (NETS•S), teachers (NETS•T), and administrators (NETS•A) should know and be able to do with technology in education. Our proven leadership in developing benchmarks and guiding implementation has resulted in broad adoption of ISTE's standards in the U.S. and many other countries.
