ISTE NETS
These appear to be aimed squarely at pre-service teachers, though might be adapted for our masters students. Or we could use the administrator standards? Not a perfect fit.
ASTD Standards

ISPI CPT Standards
Performance Improvement Standards
The 10 Standards are based on ISPI's four principles, following a systematic process:
- Focus on results and help clients focus on results.
- Look at situations systemically taking into consideration the larger context including competing pressures, resource constraints, and anticipated change.
- Add value in how you do the work and through the work itself.
- Utilize partnerships or collaborate with clients and other experts as required.
- Be systematic in all aspects of the process including:
- The assessment of the need or opportunity.
- The analysis of the work and workplace to identify the cause or factors that limit performance.
- The design of the solution or specification of the requirements of the solution.
- The development of all or some of the solution and its elements.
- The implementation of the solution.
- The evaluation of the process and the results.
