The No Child Left Behind (NCLB) legislation emphasizes the importance of leveraging the power of technology in all areas of K-12 education, from reading to science to special education. As a result, education leaders at the state and local levels are expected to develop plans that effectively employ technology to enhance learning and increase student achievement. Accurate, up-to-date information about using technology to improve curriculum, assessment, and teaching is vital to inform educational leaders as they plan their NCLB programs.

In response, the Northeast and Islands Regional Technology Consortium (NEIRTEC) has created a series of Technology Briefs for NCLB planners. The topics of these Technology Briefs were selected to reflect the U.S. Department of Education requirements for state and local applications, and they provide NCLB planners with effective strategies, key questions to consider, and selected resources that will inform the application and planning process.

If you would like, you can download all the briefs in a printable PDF format. You can download the free Adobe Acrobat Reader to read the PDF file if you don't already have it.

Technology Briefs for NCLB planners was developed by the Northeast and the Islands Regional Technology Consortium (NEIRTEC) project, a collaboration of Education Development Center, Inc. (EDC), TERC, Education Alliance at Brown University and Learning Innovations at WestEd, funded by the U.S. Department of Education.
