knowledge-based economy, a key factor for the U.S. to remain globally competitive. A few examples of Intel’s leadership role include our engagement with President Obama’s Change the Equation initiative, the Common Core State Standard’s Initiative, and the Assessment and Teaching of 21st Century Skills (ATC21S) project.
Change the Equation Intel is a founding partner of Change the Equation, a National and State driven initiative to support and promote science, technology, engineering and math (STEM) education in the United States. Initiated by President Obama, Change the Equation is a CEO peer-to-peer network whose mission is to align the efforts of corporations, federal, state and local governments and foundations to ensure that STEM investments, public and private, add up to measurable growth towards fi ve key goals. As a founding partner, Intel has played an integral role in its development, dedicating both his time and resources to ensure Change the Equation becomes a driving force in STEM education.
Common Core Standards Intel believes that every students deserves an opportunity to compete in the global economy. A key competent of a competitive educational system is internationally bench- marked and rigorous K-12 standards. Intel is a strong supporter of the Common Core State Standards Initiative. This initiative is a state-led effort coordinated by the National Governors Association Center for Best Practices (NGA Center) and the Council of Chief State School Offi cers (CCSSO). The standards were developed in collaboration with teachers, school administrators, and experts, to provide a clear and consistent framework to prepare our children for college and the workforce.
ATC21S
Cisco, Intel and Microsoft unveiled plans in January 2008 to underwrite a project to research and develop new approaches, methods and technologies for measuring the success of 21st century teaching and learning in classrooms around the world. The Assessment and Teaching of 21st Century Skills (ATC21S) project is focused on defi ning those skills and developing ways to measure them. Assessment plays a critical role in setting standards and infl uencing curricula at the local, regional, national and global level, so we expect these new assessments will motivate schools to do more to instill 21st century skills. Six countries—Australia, Finland, Portugal, Singapore, the United Kingdom, and the United States—have signed on as founding countries to pilot new assessment methods.
Partnership for 21st century Skills In 2005, Intel joined the Partnership for 21st Century Skills and has been instrumental in advancing the 21st century skills education agenda in the United States. Intel currently chairs the Partnership board. In the last three years, Intel has collaborated with the Partnership to release groundbreaking research, polls and ICT/21st century skills maps. Intel currently collaborates with the State Educational Technology Directors Association (SETDA) to promote the effective uses of technology in the classroom in an effort to change instructional practices and improve student achievement.
