U. S. Department of Education

Regional Technology in Education Consortia

The Department established the Regional Technology in Education Consortia (R-TEC) program in 1995 to help States, school districts and others use advanced technology to support improved student achievement. The R-TECs' role in educational technology is unique in two ways: their emphasis is regional, and their primary goal is to ensure that technology is used effectively to support school reform. R-TEC program strategies include professional development, technical assistance and information dissemination.
