No American School Left Behind: A 21st Century Educational Initiative

The vision of the Education Technology Think Tank’s School Modernization Initiative includes the achievement of an equitable future for all students of our great country regardless of race, color, creed or geographical location. The fulfillment of this vision includes high priority focus on the achievement of enhanced facilities, modern technology, and other non instructional components of modern schools which have a demonstrated impact on academic performance.

ET 3 envisions schools with functions beyond the traditional role as sites of youth learning. Modern schools can also be centers of community service and activities which fulfill specified needs of a cross-section of community constituencies.

Public enlightenment is a prerequisite for every student to have equal access to a safe and supportive corporeal and cognitive environment. Our strategy is to promote the construction of equitable futures by brainstorming, establishing synergies among like-minded individuals and organizations, and sharing our commitment among all education stakeholders including those at the grassroots level. The cultivation of synergies among all levels of stakeholders enables us to accomplish together what no one can do alone.
