Based on these premises the UNESCO International Institute for Capacity Building in Africa (IICBA) conceptualized a project in 2008 on the development of ICT-enhanced teacher standards for Africa (ICTeTSA) and conducted three workshops in 2009 and 2010 at regional economic communities (RECs) level towards that end. ICTeTSA aims at providing a framework for a teacher's career and clarify what progression looks like. It defines the characteristics of teachers at each career stage. Specifically it provides ICT-enhanced standards for the emerging stage, applying stage, infusing stage, and transforming stage. It also provides clarity of the expectations at each career stage. The standards refer to a teacher's professional knowledge, skills and attitudes.
