In 2011, the Foundation for Excellence in Education developed a Roadmap for Reform to guide Governors, chief state school officers and lawmakers as they adopt policies to transform education for the digital age. The Roadmap for Reform has three sections:
Nuts-and-Bolts Policies:
This section outlines the specific policies to achieve each Element. Based on the framework established by the 10 Elements of High Quality Digital Learning, the roadmap defines 72 explicit measures that, when taken as a whole, will transform education for the digital age.
Building a Bold Agenda:
This section outlines complementary measures that can be advanced together to optimize success. Many of the reforms are interconnected and, when adopted in combination with other reforms, can provide transformational results.
State Digital Learning Report Card:
To help state leaders get started on the road to reform, the Foundation for Excellence in Education assessed each state’s alignment to the 72 measures. The Report Card uses three levels of attainment – Achieved, Partial and Not Yet. Achieved indicates that the state has adopted the measure through law, rule or indisputable practice. Not Yet indicates that the state has no policy, a permissive policy that isn’t effectively achieving the vision or a policy that conflicts with the measure. Partial indicates the entire range of policies and circumstances between Not Yet and Achieved.
