NETS-Teachers

As important as assessment, standards, curriculum, professional development, and instruction are...the learning environment itself is the essential piece to supporting successful 21st century outcomes for students.

Why?...
Because every child has a right to the tools, technology, and resources needed for developing into lifelong learners and creators of knowledge.

Because every child deserves a highly qualified and effective teacher that has the support needed: resources, planning time, professional development, leadership.

"Educators can't truly deliver 21st Century instruction in schools that reflect Industrial-Age designs, with rigid schedules, inflexible facilities, and fixed boundaries between grades, descipline, and classrooms, according to a new white paper from the Partnership for 21st Century Skills."
