Google Books Court Ruling

...for Development and Implementation BY: Allan A. Glatthorn

"Through this document, I am trying to accomplish two things. First, I am attempting to weave together two sets of standards for school leaders, the Interstate School Leaders Licensure Consortium (ISLLC) Standards for School Leaders (2008) and the National Educational Technology Standards for Administrators (NETS-A) (2009). Second, I am trying to map technology tools/applications onto those standards. My hope is that this will become a guidance document for anyone who works with sitting and aspiring school leaders and who wants to better bring together the fields of educational leadership and educational technology."

"...If the focus of an educational system is student learning, as most mission statements claim, then leaders must compare the reality of their employment of technology with their stated intention."

Michelle, Thanks for posting this! Honestly, one of the best, most "focused" articles I have read in a long time. It really nails the issue of having little or no focus or direction when we're swamped by layers upon layers of standards, initiatives, and skills. Makes me wonder if it might not be a good idea to choose one or two of the NETS-S as a starting point, rather than be daunted by trying to integrate ALL of them.
