Discussion

• Use the Internet or the Strayer Library to research educational / industry standards related to your portfolio theme and educational / working environment. Be prepared to discuss. Note: For example, if your theme is technology integration, then you may find it helpful to research the ISTE NETS if you work in a K-12 environment, or you may wish to examine the AECT standards if you are not in a K-12 educational environment. See also the Supplemental Resources section and text appendices D-G.

• From the e-Activity, recommend one to two criteria that you would use in order to evaluate the manner in which you implement the standards that you researched in your educational / work environment. Provide a rationale for your response.

• Defend or critique the value of common standards. Justify your response.
