BackgroundTen competencies have been developed to integrate the multitude of discrete performance activities found in ISU's Technology Standards for All Teacher Candidates into a small number of manageable tasks. These competencies form ISU Instructional Technology Passport System or ITPS. These consolidated performance indicators define technological competencies at a broad level, communicating a view that prospective teachers should demonstrate knowledge and skills in an integrated fashion rather than as specific, minute behaviors that they might be expected to demonstrate one-by-one on demand. The ten competencies relate what all teacher candidates should be able to do at a minimum under authentic teaching conditions. Arguably, any student who completes all ten assessments encountered in the ITPS rightfully can be said to have demonstrated the competencies required by the University and external accrediting agencies.
