Delivering the resources necessary for a highly connected education system, OET remains steadfast in its mission to provide leadership for the transformation of education through the power of technology. Conscious of the challenges, Director Karen Cator expresses her vision for the road ahead.
To begin, could you explain the main aims of the Office of Educational Technology (OET)? How does it fit within the US Department of Education?
OET is a policy-setting office located in the Office of the Secretary for Education. We provide expertise, strategic assistance and policy perspective for the US Department of Education across all programmes. Our role is to support all parts of the education system in assessing how to leverage technology to help achieve their goals, whether that is helping early childhood caregivers to improve their job performance, bringing down the costs of college, or fully engaging a generation of STEM-interested students.
