“I’ve seen what NETS•T Certification can do for teachers. I’ve seen them reflect on their current practice, understand how technology can improve their instruction, and how this leads to improved student achievement. I’ve also seen what happens when groups or cohorts of teachers at the same school pursue NETS•T Certification and the excitement and innovation this generates within a school. We are dealing with 21st century learners who need 21st century skills. Shouldn’t these students be taught by teachers who possess these skills? The refresh of the NETS standards at all levels is being done to address what is needed to be successful in today’s world. Infusion of technology into the curriculum in all subject areas is a real-world-today type of thinking. We are not just using technology to learn technology. We’re using technology to learn math and science. The only way we will be able to produce 21st century learners is by providing them teachers with 21st century skills themselves. This starts with the teacher, not the student. The NETS•T project was one of the most credible, authentic, integrated professional development opportunities I provided while at Shenandoah County Public Schools, VA.”
