An ISTE Crosswalk by Six Major Categories

International Society of Technology for Education’s 

Education Technology Learning Standards* and Performance Indicators** associated with suggested

New York State Learning Standards and Performance Indicators

by ISTE’s Six Major Categories

New York State Education Department staff and educators from across New York State share these beliefs: (http://www. http://www.p12.nysed.gov/ciai/)

ü All students are able to achieve competency in the presence of skilled instruction, adequate time for learning, varied and/or specialized resources, and additional support as needed

ü Recognizes that equity in and access to technology and other resources must be ensured at State, regional, and local levels and enhances the development of critical literacy competencies

ü Recognizes that teachers in all content areas share responsibility for the development of reading, writing, listening and speaking competencies

* A learning standard is an established level or degree of quantity, value, or quality. New York State learning standards are defined as the knowledge, skills, and understandings that individuals can, and do, habitually demonstrate over time—as a result of instruction and experience.

**Performance indicators are defined as what students need to know and be able to do as a result of skilled instruction.

This crosswalk and all New York State Learning Standards respect the tradition of local choice in New York State that empowers educators to select texts, identify products, and use a rich array of instructional strategies and activities to meet student learning needs. This crosswalk is designed to provide assistance, while allowing for creativity, in the development of local instructional materials.
