ISTE/NET Standards

One of the best things about having accrued years is the treasure trove of experience I can draw on to engage, motivate, challenge, and prompt my students. The standards call for a higher level of teacher-student interaction and newly minted older teachers have experienced more living and thus have a well of life resources and understanding to draw from that younger teachers do not and cannot have. Thus, the less life-experienced teacher is compelled to approach the standards from a more theoretical and training-based perspective. To this, the more life-experienced teacher brings an additional set of tools to work with.
