ISTE Certification for Educators is a new competency-based, vendor- and platform agnostic teacher certification based on the ISTE Standards for Educators. This digital credential recognizes educators who understand how to use edtech for learning in meaningful and transformative ways.

Focused on pedagogy. Based on the ISTE Standards.

ISTE is focused on pedagogy, not tools. It’s not about edtech per se, it’s about what you do with the tech to transform learning and improve student outcomes.

Are you ready to be an ISTE Certified Educator?

To be successful in this program we believe it is important to consider these questions.

1. Are you an educator who is interested in professional growth and who sees the ISTE Standards as a roadmap for using technology to learn?
2. Are you an educator who has experience and comfort using varied technology in the classroom?
3. Are you an educator who is comfortable with and has experience successfully taking online professional learning (courses)?
