By accelerating the pace of innovation in learning sciences and technologies, the United States has the opportunity to close the achievement gap, improve national competitiveness, and drive economic growth. Accelerating the pace of innovation requires a fresh approach to research and development and the infrastructure that supports it. Creating a new education innovation ecosystem requires new types of partnerships that cross traditional domain silos. 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 accelerating the development of new tools and approaches for learning. In combination with a supportive regulatory and funding context, these innovation centers have the potential to lead the nation in the creation of new knowledge, tools and outcomes.
The mission of the Office of Educational Technology (OET) is to provide leadership for transforming education through the power of technology. OET develops national educational technology policy and establishes the vision for how technology can be used to support learning. OET supports the President’s and Secretary’s priorities by:==Education Innovation Clusters Overview==
*Promoting equity of access by ensuring all learners are connected to broadband internet'''Educational partners''' provide an environment where emerging learning technologies can be piloted and new solutions can be developed with input from students and teachers.*Supporting Future Ready educators Educational partners might be early learning providers, public and a robust ecosystem /or private schools, libraries, community centers, after school programs, institutions of entrepreneurs higher education, or virtual learning environments. These innovative schools and innovators.*Leading cutting-edge research in learning analytics centers provide the flexibility and capability to rapidly develop, test, and collect data to provide on new types of evidence and customize approaches and improve learningproducts.
OET is part *'''Research partners''' conduct basic and applied research related to advancing the field of learning science. They can be integrally connected to the Office entrepreneurial partners to ensure effective design of learning technologies. They would also have deep relationships with the educational partners to streamline the Secretary collection of Education and as such works in collaboration data and partnership with all other ED offices relating outcomes to effective use conduct ongoing evaluations of technology the products and approaches developed in the cluster. *'''Commercial partners''' infuse new technologies to support learningaddress problems and help scale and market successful implementations. OET is They can also provide investment capital to accelerate the primary office for outreach 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 developer communityeducational and research partners in the cluster.
