The DESE OET team envisions a world where all K–12 students in Massachusetts regularly engage in opportunities to learn, explore, and innovate through relevant, contemporary technology and with well-prepared and inspired educators. With strategic and thoughtful planning and implementation, edtech has the potential to:
facilitate strong instruction and enhance authentic and deeper learning,
expand opportunity and remove boundaries to prepare students for lifelong learning, and
prepare students to succeed in a technologically-driven world.
The Learning Accelerator (TLA) envisions a world in which each student receives the effective, equitable, and engaging education they need to reach their full and unique potential. TLA acts as a critical agent and partner in the education sector to ignite more rapid and connected learning. By advancing a vision for individual and sector learning, actively bridging gaps in understanding and access to necessary resources, tools, and networks, and catalyzing greater collective action and change, TLA is creating a world where:
Individual decision-makers efficiently tap into and contribute to an ever-growing, open body of knowledge and tools;
Communities and organizations leverage implement and improve powerful practices and conditions for equity and success; and
The greater sector acts with increased connectivity, alignment, resource-sharing, and movement.
