Summary/Abstract: This paper describes the development of standards for the use of classroom teaching and learning materials. The draft standards included in this paper have been developed by International Association for Research on Textbooks on Educational Media (IARTEM). The standards were developed in Australia but have been discussed in a number of international forums, including the 2013 IARTEM conference at the University of Ostrava (Czech Republic). At this conference the standards were shared for feedback, validation and further research refinement and revision. Data was collected from IARTEM members about the standards and Professor Arno Reints from the University of Utrecht is leading an international IARTEM project to further develop the standards. Feedback on the standards can be made on the IARTEM website at any time − http://iartemblog.wordpress.com/have-your-say/.
