Standards

ISTE Technology Standards for Students (NETS-S)

The National Educational Technology Standards for Students (NETS-S) are set up to guide educators in determining what abilities technologically-literate students should acquire in their educational experiences. The technology standards for students are divided into six broad categories.

Each of these standards is defined and grouped as grade-level appropriate concepts and skills, called performance indicators, for students from pre-kindergarten through grade 12.

Grade-Level Expectations (GLEs)

See Missouri's GLE information from the Department of Elementary and Secondary Education (DESE).

Show-Me Standards

The Missouri Show-Me Standards are academic standards that incorporate and strongly promote active, hands-on learning. By integrating and applying basic knowledge and skills in practical and challenging ways across all disciplines, students become more engaged and motivated learners.

Missouri-specific resources

Lewis and Clark resources

While many states observed special events from 2003 through 2006, celebrating the Corps of Discovery holds special meaning for Missouri as the state from whence Lewis and Clark departed in 1804 and returned in 1806.

The goal is to facilitate the creation of high-quality digital resources for Lewis and Clark materials for classroom use. MOREnet is working together with the eMINTS program, Missouri Department of Elementary and Secondary Education, Missouri State Archives, University of Missouri-Columbia's College of Education, University of Missouri-Columbia Department of Geography, Missouri Historical Society and others to make Lewis and Clark resources unique to Missouri digitally available through the MOREnet network.

Resources include WebQuests, eThemes, videos, links to maps and curriculum units. Additional resources will be added as they become available.

Finding Missouri: Our History and Heritage video series

The video series, Finding Missouri: Our History and Heritage, for students and teachers in Missouri's elementary and secondary schools, was funded by the Missouri Department of Elementary and Secondary Education (DESE) and the Historical Preservation Section of the Missouri Department of Natural Resources.

Each of the 18 videos focuses on a single topic and lasts approximately 10 minutes. The videos feature documentary film footage, images of and spoken words from primary sources, reenactments of historical events and people, footage of historical sites and interviews with experts.
