Digital Learning Standards
The Commission remains dedicated to defining the outcomes of digital learning — rather simply the essential conditions — that prepare students for college and career. Its adoption of the benchmark Student, Educator, and Education Leader standards of the International Society for Technology in Education has made Connecticut the first state committed to these frameworks. The following sections provide resources to support the development of these competencies in every learner, teacher, and leader in Connecticut.
The Commission adopted the standards at its December 2016 meeting, with full State Board of Education adoption in June 2018.
