“The plan calls for schools and districts to:
- Redesign teacher preparation programs to shift from a single technology course to thoughtful use of technology throughout a teacher’s preparation and minimum standards for higher education instructors’ tech proficiency.
- Set an expectation of equitable access to technology and connectivity inside and outside of school regardless of students’ backgrounds.
- Adopt high-quality openly licensed educational materials in place of staid, traditional textbooks.
- Implement universal design principles for accessibility across all educational institutions and include these principles within teacher preparation programs.
- Improve technology-based assessments to allow for embedded delivery within instruction and making near real-time feedback for educators possible.
- Establish a robust technology infrastructure that meets current connectivity goals and can be augmented to meet future demand.”
