What should be the standards for teachers

Cool Cat Teacher Blog where remarkable teachers learning about teaching

Listening to the NETS refresh standards for teachers.

A teacher is saying how many teachers are complaining to her about the new standards and that she is telling them that it does not need to be oppressive.

“What technology is doing for good teachers is it is making good teachers work their *%^# off with very exciting projects.” (Hey fellows, I hear you.)

They are asking for feedback on the set of standards for the teachers and asking feedback.

I rather than spelling out what teachers should know — but more about what teachers should be:

Reading through RSS the best in research.
Participating in tagging standards.
Participating and connected through ongoing peer communication and sharing best practices.

Vicki Davis

Vicki Davis has been an educator and IT director in Georgia since 2002. Today, she also works as an instructional technology coach, staying side-by-side with active teachers and students so her work stays grounded in real classrooms.

She's a mom of three, wife of one, and loves talking about the wise, transformational use of technology for teaching and doing good in the world.

She has blogged at the Cool Cat Teacher Blog since 2005 and hosts the 10 Minute Teacher Podcast and Cool Cat Teacher Talk (radio, public access TV, YouTube, and all major podcast platforms), interviewing remarkable educators around the world. Vicki focuses on what unites us — a quest for truly remarkable, life-changing teaching and learning. The goal of her work is to provide actionable, encouraging, relevant ideas for teachers, grounded in truth and shared with love.

If you talk to Vicki for long, she'll encourage you to "Relate to Educate," to "innovate like a turtle," or to be "a remarkable teacher." She loves homemade sourdough bread and cinnamon rolls and runs half marathons with her sisters. You can usually find her laughing with her students or digging into a book.

Thank you for reading, sharing, and telling your friends about the work we do here! - Vicki
