Teacher education programs must develop strategies for ensuring that teacher candidates comprehend the wide range of information literacies, demonstrate skills related to those literacies, and integrate literacies into instructional activities. The school, college, department of education (SCDE) must now address state, regional, and national standards, including NCATE 2000, that specify information, media, and technology competencies. This paper provides background information about new literacies; describes components of the major standards, including NCATE 2000; and makes recommendations for incorporating competencies into teacher education programs.
