We have only one guideline:
Choate believes that our teachers are at their best when free to customize =
their classrooms to best match their teaching styles and the learning needs=
of their students. Consequently, we are not inclined to mandate any specif=
ic technology tools or approaches to teaching and learning.
The following data was recently collected from our faculty to test the abov=
e statement:
1. 78% of our faculty use Blackboard without an administrative mandate.
2. 88% use technology tools of some kind on a regular basis (in addition to=
Blackboard) without standards or mandates.
My preliminary conclusion - create a positive, supportive environment for t=
eachers, and they will do what is necessary to provide the best education f=
or our kids. According to our data, teachers do see the importance of using=
technology tools to improve teaching and learning.

Hi All-
I am curious as to what your school uses as a guide in developing and
updating school curriculum with respect to technology standards?
For example, what does your History Department (Math Dept.?, Lower
School?, etc.) use as a guide to ensure they are preparing students for
the digital age?
ISTE?
21st Century Skills?
Some other guidelines?
no guidelines?
Thanks!
