Global Reach of the ISTE Standards


The ISTE Standards provide a vision for how to maximize technology to transform learning and teaching by establishing a common framework and language for all countries or cultures.

Each role-based section of the ISTE Standards defines skills that are vital to preparing students for success in our changing world. Collectively, they provide a road map for developing a culture that effectively uses technology for high-impact learning.

Educators, leaders and policymakers around the world have localized the ISTE Standards to meet their own visions, goals and objectives, and needs of their student population.
