ISTE has received global recognition for our efforts to improve learning and teaching through the effective uses of technology. Our expert team of staff, volunteers, and ed tech industry leaders gives us the ability to offer a host of consulting services to assist you in meeting the needs of students and teachers in the digital age.

ISTE's Cyber Café–A Professional Learning Network

ISTE's Cyber Café is a NETS–focused, facilitated professional learning network for lead teachers and administrators. Through the café virtual experience, participants can work collaboratively on issues critical to their schools or districts and engage in topics that are relevant to the classroom and/or professional arenas. At the end of each café experience, participants produce educational artifacts (webinars, curricula, etc.) that they can use and share in a variety of learning environments. We have developed all cafés with the NETS as a backdrop so participants can make connections between their work and the digital age skills their students need.

NETS Readiness

This workshop helps school administrators reflect on the essential conditions to identify critical barriers and determine how to implement leadership strategies to support change on the scale necessary to achieve systemic transformation

Classroom Observation

ISTE's Research and Evaluation team developed the ISTE Classroom Observation Tool (ICOT) to measure the effective integration of technology in the classroom. ICOT is a free tool that districts can use to support NETS integration in teachers' instructional practices.
