ISTE Coach Standard 4.7: Digital Citizen Advocate
Coaches model digital citizenship and support educators and students in recognizing the responsibilities and opportunities of living in a digital world. Richard Styner's evidence includes a digital citizenship poster, policy advocacy, online profile curation, media literacy, privacy awareness, and community-facing digital communication.
Alignment to the Current ISTE Coach Standard
- 4.7.a Encourage Civic Engagement: The AUP advocacy letter and digital citizenship work frame technology as a tool for responsible participation in school and community life.
- 4.7.b Foster Inclusive, Balanced Use: The digital citizenship poster promotes safe, healthy, legal, and ethical technology use.
- 4.7.c Evaluate Online Content: The portfolio's emphasis on online research, distance learning trends, and digital citizenship supports critical review of digital information.
- 4.7.d Protect Personal Data and Digital Profiles: The newer Richard Styner profile, photo, resume, and biography pages model intentional digital identity curation and privacy-aware public presentation.
