Official Summary

4/2/2009--Introduced.Amends title II of the Elementary and Secondary Education Act of 1965 to rename part D (Achievement through Technology and Innovation) and reauthorize it through FY2015. Alters the current program to require states to use a portion of their allotted funds to develop challenging academic content and achievement standards to ensure that students are technologically literate before the end of grade eight. Specifies that such standards are only for tracking technological literacy and not for assessing adequate yearly progress (AYP) under title I. Permits technological literacy testing to be embedded in other state tests or performance-based assessments portfolios, or made through other valid and reliable means. Requires states to use the bulk of their part D allotment for two new subgrant programs for local educational agencies (LEAs), devoting:
(1) 60% for formula subgrants to improve teaching and learning through technology; and
(2) 40% for competitive subgrants for systemic school redesign through technology integration. Requires LEAs to:
(1) include a new or updated local long-range strategic educational technology plan in their applications;
(2) use a specified percentage of each subgrant for teacher training; and
(3) use each subgrant to acquire and apply technology to identify individual student learning needs and support individualized learning. Allows LEAs that receive funds for both programs to use all the funds for systemic school redesign through technology integration program activities. Directs the Secretary of Education to:
(1) conduct an annual national study and report on the extent to which student technology literacy is attained by grade eight;
(2) annually publish the results of state technology literacy assessments; and
(3) implement, and update every five years, a National Education Technology Plan. Requires the Secretary to award a competitive grant to an education technology research entity, or a partnership comprising such an entity and one or more educational, nonprofit, or research entities, to establish a National Center for Achievement Through Technology that will identify and disseminate promising practices and exemplary programs that effectively use educational technologies.
