We extend our deepest thanks to the members of the National Educational Technology Plan Technical Working Group for their extensive contributions to the plan’s vision for the future of education:

The U.S. Department of Education initiated the development of Transforming American Education in spring 2009 to capitalize on the opportunities created by technological advancements and new research on learning that have emerged since the publication of the last national educational technology plan in 2004.

We urge the national research center to focus on grand challenge problems in education research and development. “Grand challenge problems” are important problems that require bringing together a community of scientists and researchers to work toward their solution.

The National Center for Research in Advanced Information and Digital Technologies would support research at scale, facilitating the participation of educators, schools, and districts as partners in design and research. It would also promote transparency and collaboration, encouraging multiple researchers to work with the same data and interoperable software components and services. Its unique charter is to identify the key research and development challenges in the education field and coordinate the best combination of expertise for addressing them.
