Tech Matrix
Professional Development Toolkit
Since the launch of the Tech Matrix in Winter 2005, many of our stakeholders have expressed interest in disseminating the Math and Reading Matrices to colleagues. The Professional Development Toolkit offers a springboard to share materials on the Tech Matrix, reference support for the technology purposes around which the matrices are organized, and review technology solutions for students with disabilities.

Education Week's Annual Report Released

The report focuses on how well states and school districts are harnessing vast amounts of new student information to improve learning. According to a survey of state education officials conducted for the report, despite the federal government's push to make data central to instructional decisions, states are still far away from realizing that goal.
