The U.S. Department of Education has put forth this draft so that state and local offices can be guided in their development of their curriculum. The plan focuses on five areas that schools should focus on. The five areas are as follows; Learning, Assessment, Teaching, Infrastructure and Productivity. The Learning section tells that today’s learners can no longer be taught in the old fashioned ways. Today’s learners must have lessons that feel unique to each learner and they work collaboratively. The goal is for all learners to have engaging and empowering learning experiences. The plan recommends schools to use technology resources to improve learning. The next section described is the Assessment area. The plan recommends to find a new way of assessment that includes all stakeholders and to use assessment data to make decisions about what type of lessons will most benefit the students. The third section discusses Teaching. The way teachers teach must change to include technology. To do this, teachers must have professional development that is collaborative and ongoing. The plan recommends that teachers be but in teams that work cooperatively to use data to drive instruction. The fourth area discussed is infrastructure. The plan calls for technology resources for students and teachers when and where they need it. The final area discussed is productivity. The plan calls for better use of financial resources as we continue to improve the education system. The plan recommends that we use technology to manage and improve the cost associated with improving policies.
