Advocating a Bolder Education Vision for the Future
A Call to Action
To help lead this cause, a nonpartisan coalition of leading education associations, nonprofit groups and corporations is launching a campaign to encourage voters to communicate with candidates on the need to get 21st century tools into America’s classrooms. The National Coalition for Technology in Education and Training (NCTET) seeks to mobilize voters nationwide to urge candidates for public office to pledge support for policies that ensure students have access today to the best available learning technologies to guarantee America’s success tomorrow.
This pledge would include providing the necessary leadership and vision, investing in technology in our schools, and providing educators with the training and support they need. It would also include ensuring that long-standing regulations and policy barriers are modernized so as to not inappropriately limit our educational institutions’ abilities to acquire and effectively implement technology-based tools and methods. The campaign is aimed at candidates at all levels - from the local school board to the White House. Those interested in taking part in this grassroots effort should visit www.nctet.org.
