State Leadership Assistance for Technology in Education (Project SLATE). Final Report. Volume I and Volume II.
Curry, Blair; And Others
Project SLATE (State Leadership Assistance for Technology in Education) was designed to assist state-level policy makers plan effective uses of emerging electronic learning technology in education within their respective states. In addition to providing custom-designed workshops in 20 states focusing upon state-level priority issues and needs for state policy makers, the project team also provided follow-up assistance and information services throughout the 2-year project. The purpose of this two-volume final report is to identify priority policy issues that have surfaced or are beginning to surface and to discuss alternative federal policy options to assist states in planning over the next few years. The first of two volumes describes the project and discusses general state-level policy trends and the impact of SLATE upon state policy formulation related to the use of technology. The second volume addresses the major policy issues that were identified during the SLATE project, initiatives undertaken by the states, and alternative federal policy options, which if implemented, would appear to facilitate effective planning and use of technology at the state level. Appendices include lists of project advisory group membership, participating states and state coordinators, and 14 letters of appreciation. (JB)
