Academic Standards

The links below will take you to pages where you can access the English/Language Arts and Mathematics Standards published by the National Council of Teachers of English (NCTE) in partnership with the International Reading Association (IRA), and the National Council of Teachers of Mathematics (NCTM) respectively. In addition to reviewing the standards, you may access sample technology-supported lessons, aligned to the content standards, for grades K-3, 4-6, and 7-12.

States within the WestEd RTEC region are Arizona, California, Nevada, and Utah. To access academic standards specific to each state, use the following links:

Additional Standards

21st Century Skills: Along with aligning curriculum with content area standards, there are 21st century skills every student must have in conjunction with academic knowledge to thrive in today's society. This link allows you to access the 21st Century Skills written by Cheryl Lemke and provides sample technology integrated units of instruction that support student development of these skills.

National Educational Technology Standards for Students (NETS*S): Students in today's world need both academic and technology skills to do the kinds of jobs expected of the workforce. This link allows you to access the NETS*S standards provides sample technology integrated units of instruction that support student development of these skills.


Classroom Management Techniques
One of the major challenges teachers face in implementing technology integration is figuring out the mechanics of using various technologies in their own work or as part of their curriculum. This is particularly true when access is limited or varied. Use the Subtopics at the top-left of this pafe to learn more about the basics of:

Resources

bulletAccess Technology Center (ATC)
The mission of the Access Technology Center (ATC) is to promote teaching and learning for all children with the assistance of technology. ATC provides specialized technology and training opportunities for teachers to create an enriched learning environment that enables students to meet the BPS learning standards through universal access techniques. These innovative uses of technology will promote student success and independence both in school and in the community. In addition, ATC offers follow-up support to teachers and students in the form of study groups, site visits, and phone/ email communication.

bulletCLASP CST PM (Curriculum Sharing and Support Tool for Project MEET)
The purpose of the tool is to guide teachers through the often confusing and increasingly complex process of developing standards-based instructional plans that integrate the criteria of Good Models of Teaching with Technology. It was developed by Mass Networks for Project MEET through a grant from the US Department of Education and is available for free to all districts.

bulletExemplary Software
Here are links to a few exemplary software programs and lesson planning tools you can use when integrating technology use into your language arts and/or mathematics curriculum. Software:
bulletIntegrating Technology into the Standard Curriculum
Federal law now requires that assistive technology be considered for every student with disabilities. Increasingly, technology is recommended to help students with cognitive disabilities achieve in a challenging curriculum. This issue describes promising research in applying technology in the curriculum to improve learning opportunities for students with disabilities.

bulletLesson-planning Tools
bulletThe California Learning Resource Network (CLRN)
A one-stop information source that enables California educators to identify supplemental electronic learning resources that both meet local instructional needs and embody the implementation of California curriculum frameworks and standards.
