A national leader in UDL provides a voice for technology
Last week we heard the exciting news that Dr. David Rose has been named to an important group that will develop the new National Educational Technology Plan. As a co-founder of CAST and a national researcher in UDL, Dr. Rose will bring keen insights to this development. The details of that announcement are noted below:
"The U.S. Department of Education has named David Rose, chief scientist
and co-founder of CAST, to a technical working group charged with
developing a new National Educational Technology Plan that guides the
use of information and communication technologies in transforming
American education. The plan will provide a set of concrete goals that can inform state and local educational technology plans as well as inspire research,
development, and innovation. Dr. Rose is among a number of distinguished educators, researchers,state and district education technology leaders, and policymakers who
are working together to support the development of the plan. "I am
honored to be included in this distinguished group," says Dr. Rose.
"I want to represent the needs of all learners but especially those who
are marginalized by the general education curriculum-students with
disabilities, English language learners, and so forth. It is essential
that the plan reflect the diversity of students in today's classrooms
and recognize that diversity as a strength of our educational system
rather than merely a challenge."
Dr. Rose is seeking your feedback on any relevant reports, effective
technology tools, or exemplary programs, activities or curricula that
are designed to include and benefit all students.To submit comments and learn more about the Plan, visit the National Educational Technology Plan (NETP) website:
