And in this case, how often will it be that the teachers aren't equipped to get to mastery due to funding in districts? I look forward to seeing how far these standards push the education system.

I have gone back and forth this past week during our Ed Tech Coaches Twitter discussion about "are these standards too tech focused?" I think I'm leaning more toward they are going to push us- teachers, coaches, admin- to truly embrace technology beyond the digital worksheet and notebook. I would argue that I think our focus really needs to be on educating Admin and Policy Markers about the importance, so they can create a space where teachers not only are encouraged to move toward these standards and type of classroom, but are no longer afraid to do it!

It makes a big difference as our teachers move forward using technology in meaningful ways. I think that standards should have the bar set high, knowing that there is much work to do. <br />~Pam, EdTech Coach from Michigan @shoemapAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
