[Bridging_the_digital_divide] SETDA and Helping States Implement NCLB

[Jason Barkeloo]

The State Educational Technology Directors Association (SETDA) recently 
unveiled its 2003 SETDA National Leadership Institute Toolkit: States 
Helping States Implement No Child Left Behind. Developed with input 
from state and national experts, the kit offers resources and best 
practices on improving learning for all students through the use of 
technology. It addresses five content areas:
	• building partnerships and leveraging resources;
	• technology leadership skills for the 21st century;
	• data collection and data-driven decision making;
	• building high-quality professional development programs; and
	• virtual schools and distance learning.

  The toolkit contains the outcomes of five corresponding work groups 
that met at SETDA's second annual National Leadership Institute held in 
December 2003. The institute was attended by over 100 education 
technology leaders from 46 states, along with U.S. Department of 
Education representatives and other interested parties.

SETDA has also compiled for its Web site a profile report outlining 
each state's technology plans. For more information, visit
