As a teacher it is critical for me to demonstrate mastery of teaching standards.-ISTE-NETS Teacher Standards

It is also critical for me to plan instruction that allows my students to master their standards.-ISTE-NETS Student Standards

As a teacher in Wisconsin, I must also continually improve on the 10 WI Teacher Standards-http://dpi.wi.gov/tepdl/stand10.html

And, I must align my work to the Framework for the 21st Century Learning-21st Century Framework

I must also have a mastery of the Wisconsin Academic Standards for my grade level and content.
