SBEC Technology Standards for All Teachers

Portfolio Documentation

The ClassServer modules listed below make up a portfolio documentation "class".  The modules address the technology integration standards prescribed for all teachers by SBEC.  In order for your teachers to document their mastery of these standards, download the modules on to your district server, setup a class in which all faculty are students, and allow teachers to make submissions to the portfolio.  Teachers are asked to submit examples of student work which demonstrate that they have successfully taught each standard.

In many cases, more than one standard can be covered by a single assignment.  Click here for a list of possible standard groupings.
