The mission By accelerating the pace of innovation in learning sciences and technologies, the Office United States has the opportunity to close the achievement gap, improve national competitiveness, and drive economic growth. Accelerating the pace of Educational Technology (OET) is innovation requires a fresh approach to provide leadership for transforming research and development and the infrastructure that supports it. Creating a new education through the power innovation ecosystem requires new types of technologypartnerships that cross traditional domain silos. OET develops national educational technology policy This has been demonstrated in other industries that have been successful at accelerating innovation. Across the country education innovation clusters are forming, where forward-thinking partners focus on breakthroughs in learning technologies, streamlining research in learning science and establishes accelerating the vision development of new tools and approaches for how technology can be used to support learning. OET supports In combination with a supportive regulatory and funding context, these innovation centers have the potential to lead the nation in the President’s creation of new knowledge, tools and Secretary’s priorities by:outcomes.
*Promoting equity of access by ensuring all learners are connected to broadband internet.*Supporting Future Ready educators and a robust ecosystem of entrepreneurs and innovators.*Leading cutting-edge research in learning analytics and data to provide new types of evidence and customize and improve learning. OET is part of the Office of the Secretary of Education and as such works in collaboration and partnership with all other ED offices relating to effective use of technology to support learning. OET is also the primary office for outreach to the developer community.

*'''Educational partners''' provide an environment where emerging learning technologies can be piloted and new solutions can be developed with input from students and teachers. Educational partners might be early learning providers, public and/or private schools, libraries, community centers, after school programs, institutions of higher education, or virtual learning environments. These innovative schools and learning centers provide the flexibility and capability to rapidly develop, test, and collect data on new approaches and products.
*'''Commercial partners''' infuse new technologies to address problems and help scale and market successful implementations. They can also provide investment capital to accelerate the commercialization of intellectual property and increase the probability of success of new enterprises built on the knowledge and solutions generated in the cluster. The quality and relevance of products will greatly improve with consistent access to the educational and research partners in the cluster.
