According to the California Department of Education, "Educational standards describe what students should know and be able to do in each subject in each grade".
Few years ago, in 2010, several states decided to adopt the same standards. These are called the Common Core State Standards (CCSS).
By having the same standards, all students will have the same good education, even if they have to switch school or move to another state.
ISTE Standards x Technology
I decided to include the ISTE Standards because throughout my journey in Touro I read and referred to these standards more than a few times.
These standards are "the definitive framework for successfully implementing digital strategies to positively impact learning, teaching and leading in our technology-powered world".
