Interstate Teacher Assessment and Support Consortium Standards (InTASC)

Through the Interstate Teacher Assessment and Support Consortium, The Council of Chief State School Officers (CCSSO) created the InTASC Model Core Teaching Standards. These standards were established to guide teachers to articulate effective teaching in an environment that will heighten student learning. These standards are applicable to educators from K-12 that teach any subject area. There are 10 standards, these can be divided into four categories; learner and learning, content, instructional practices, and professional responsibility.
