For school teachers, the self-reported reflection focuses on the practical use of technology in the classroom, without judgment. Each of the 23 competencies is supported by multiple dimensions (see below), and each dimension is "measured" with situation-specific questions carefully mapped to the ISTE performance indicators.

 

​For example, below question targets ability to Model collaborative knowledge, which is one of seven dimensions of the Authentic Tasks competency:

I ask students to collaborate outside of school...

A. Never.

B. On major group projects.

​C. Through the class website for communication.

D. Through the class wiki for collaboration when needed.

E. Constantly, my classroom is flipped.
