whose job is it to teach NETs and AASL standards to students?

Before we discuss on this question shown in the title of this post, let us have a quick look at the NETs and AASL:

NETs: http://www.iste.org/Content/NavigationMenu/NETS/ForStudents/2007Standards/NETS_for_Students_2007.htm

1. Creativity and Innovation
2. communication and Collaboration
3. Research and Information fluency
4. Critical thinking,probelm solving,decision making
5. Digital citizenship
6. Technology operations and concepts

AASL: http://www.ala.org/ala/mgrps/divs/aasl/guidelinesandstandards/learningstandards/AASL_LearningStandards.pdf

1. Inquiry, think critically, and gain knowledge
2. Draw conclusions,make informed decisions,apply knowledge to new situations and create new knowledge
3. Share knowledge and particapte ethically and productively as members of our democratic society;
4. Pursue personal and aesthetic growth

Plus, under each of the above four AASL standards, there are four sub-categories which are: Skills, Dispositions in Action, Responsibilities and Self-assessment strategies.

So now, we come back to the question: whose job is to teach those standards to students?

Of course, we can say it is everyone's job including parents, teachers, learning communities and the whole society. Among these, I shall say the learning communities such as school is playing the crucial role in this. After all, students need to be put in an healthy and conducive environment where they can obtain those qualities required in those standards.

This video is just an example of how students can be taught in such a fantastic environment where the target language and its cultural are immersed in their daily life.

Apparently, teacher is standing in the front line who carries the standards into his teaching, and yet he needs to work within a system which makes that teaching possible and available. The individuals' effort can make difference indeed, but it depends on the quality teaching of the individual teacher whose knowledge and perspective varies from one to another, therefore setting up an good education system in which teaching and learning activities can be assured to follow the proper standards from top down to the bottom.
