SIIA Vision for K-20 Education

We believe that every K-20 educational system and institution can - and should - have an instructional and enterprise framework that embraces technology and e-learning in order to:

  • Personalize learning to increase student engagement and achievement
  • Provide equity and access to new learning opportunities
  • Document and track student performance
  • Empower collaborative learning communities
  • Maximize teaching and administrative effectiveness
  • Build student proficiencies in 21st Century skills

Our vision is based on the experience that technology:

  • Creates personalized learning experiences for all students
  • Enables more efficient and effective teaching and learning
  • Is essential for life-long learning

This SIIA Vision calls for a coalition of stakeholders, including educators, public officials, and academic leaders to recognize this mandate and to work together to realize this opportunity.

To better prepare our nation's students to be digital citizens and succeed in a global society, we must combine proven, well-implemented and well-supported technologies with sound educational approaches. As a result, we will hone the innovative advantage of our institutions and increase the opportunity for each individual to fulfill their promise through education.
