Introduction
When pursuing mastery in any art, or craft it is always important to have visible and clear
standards to hold yourself accountable for. In many ways these standards act as a system of self-
checking in times of reflection, as well as assessing from proven experts in the field. There is
certainly no lack of professional or curriculum standards when looking at teaching in New York
State, or almost anywhere for that matter. These standards make it possible for teachers to relate
to each other from across the state because they are universally applicable in design. These
universal standards are designed in order to give all students the same education and therefore
INTASC Standards
The INTASC standards are designed for teachers but are very clearly student centric.
Each of the standards revolves around making sure each student is treated as an individual and
that their individual learning needs are met. The INTASC standards address everything from

many benefits to using these, especially when standardized testing is so prevalent it is imperative

main difference and strength of the NYS Learning Standards is the emphasis not only places on
curriculum itself but also the values that come along with education in New York. The NYS
Learning Standards have a much broader scope and cover more of the standards for education as
a whole.
International Society for Technology Education for Teachers and Students (ISTE)
The standards defined by the ISTE include goals set in order to usher all educators and
students into a digital era. These standards focus mostly on technology, its uses, and how to
implement technology in your classroom. The ISTE is unique in this way because in a digital era
not many resources exist that can give universal guidelines for using technology in your
classroom.
CAEP Standards
The CAEP Standards are a bit of an anomaly in this list because they are standards for
teachers of teachers. They are a list of 5 broad values that each educator should possess by the
time they are a fully fledged teacher in the eyes of New York. These standards are there to
ensure that teachers are entering the field with just about the same approximate knowledge as
their peers and their new employers know what to expect when they are hired.
Conclusion
Professional and curriculum standards exist in many professional fields, and maybe none
so important as education. Education and schooling is widespread across our country and it is
obvious we need such guidelines to keep everyone relatively on the same page. These also give
our betters, our peers, and ourselves a way to check our progression as educators in order to not
fall behind. The classroom dynamic and paradigm is always shifting, especially in our
technology driven world; which makes platforms such as these even more important. As society
changes, so do our values and with these statewide recognized standards educators across New
