Education Leaders Applaud ATTAIN Act
Curriculum Review, v47 n2 p4 Oct 2007
This article talks about Achievement Through Technology and Innovation (ATTAIN) Act, a bill introduced by Senators Bingaman (D-NM), Burr (R-NC), and Murray (D-WA) and applauded by a coalition of education and industry groups. The proposed ATTAIN Act is similar to its companion in the House (HR 2449), and builds upon the Enhancing Education Through Technology Program (EETT) provision embedded in the No Child Left Behind Act (NCLB). According to the Consortium for School Networking, the International Society for Technology in Education (ISTE), the Software & Information Industry Association, and the State Educational Technology Directors Association, the ATTAIN Act would leverage the success of EETT (Title II-D of NCLB). In particular, the legislation would improve student achievement in core curricular subjects by providing students with technology skills, access and support, and ensuring that all teachers are properly equipped to use technology effectively.
