What Is Project 24
Project 24 is an urgent call to action for systemic planning around the effective use of technology and digital learning to achieve the goal of "career and college readiness" for all students. It is a one-stop shop of comprehensive district-level planning tools, expert advice, creative ideas, and tangible suggestions from experienced education experts and nonprofit education membership organizations.
The "24" in Project 24 represents the next twenty-four months, during which the nation's education landscape will change greatly as states and districts implement college- and career-ready standards for all students; utilize online assessments to gauge comprehension and learning; push for greater system and classroom innovation; deal with shrinking budgets; and contend with demands of states' waivers from key provisions of the No Child Left Behind Act. Please note that Project 24 is a non-linear process and does not take 24 months to complete. In fact, district leaders are encouraged to interact as they see fit with the content as it is developed no matter when the learn about Project 24.
