Chapter 15 DOI: 10.4018/978-1-7998-1461-0.ch015 ABSTRACT Faculty integration of the technology standards and competencies remain a concern in higher educa- tion, especially in the movement toward competency-based education and portfolio development. The “CRABwalk within the Crosswalk” occurs as both ISTE educator standards and TETC competencies are collaboratively reviewed and worked. This protocol is designed to help align a team’s multiple standards and competencies within one collaborative assessment tool. It provides a cognitive tool to facilitate partnership collaboration that can result in greater individual and team growth and develop- ment. This chapter provides a literature review of K-12 teacher education and university faculty percep- tions as a cultural models base to the presented Crosswalk to Rubric Alignment (CRABwalk) protocol. Professional standard or competency needs are of focus and therefore meet the needs of each educator group: preservice, inservice, and teacher educator.
