Abstract

With the burgeoning movement to establish standards, many organizations have developed expectations for what a teacher should know and be able to accomplish through technology. We examined standards from accrediting agencies (NCATE, INTASC, and TEAC), professional organizations (NCTE, NCTM, NCSS, NAME, and ISTE), and state departments of education (Florida, Georgia, Tennessee, and Texas). We discuss and evaluate the standards promulgated through these agents in terms of clarity, complexity, coherence, adaptability, measurability, and desirability. Accordingly, the standards of NCATE, INTASC, TEAC, NCSS, NCTE, and ISTE were found wanting, while the standards of NCTM, NAME, and especially the technology standards being developed by the state of Georgia were more fully articulated, logical, and useful for teachers. In general, the more precise standards were stronger, but they were also more temporal.
