Abstract: Both research and policy indicate the importance of considering ICT-related and intercultural competence development in education together. Teacher educators play a significant role in the development of these related competencies. The aim of this study is to analyze ICT-related competence frameworks addressing teacher educators, focusing on how they incorporate intercultural considerations. We analyze four internationally recognized models—Teacher Educator Technology Competencies (TETCs), DigCompEdu, Jisc Digital Capabilities, and Media Didactica—showing that with the TETCs important steps have been taken to integrate both discourses, while the other frameworks treat aspects related to culture as isolated phenomena. In TETC 8, the global dimension is represented by a specific competency, which is also differentiated into specific areas of competence. This offers a strong starting point for further international discourse, in terms of both the diversification of underlying theoretical concepts and approaches to culturally responsive education. Further research is needed to investigate how professional development can meet the needs of teacher educators in a global context.
