Overview
Common Sense Media (CSM)—a nonpartisan non-profit providing information, tools, and a forum for families about the media they consume—housed the LEAD Commission, which was charged with developing a blueprint for the expansion of education technology in the U.S., including a review of the E-Rate. With this renewal funding, CSM would engage a coalition of nonprofits to help implement the LEAD Commission’s recommendations to promote modern technology use in schools. The work will focus on analysis of, and recommendations regarding, the level of public financial resources necessary to meet the technology demands of online testing and enable schools to assess students on deeper learning.

for analysis of the technology requirements of online testing and their relationship to E-Rate
Common Sense Media (CSM) is a nonpartisan non-profit providing information, tools, and a forum for families about the media they consume. CSM supported a larger effort (called the LEAD Commission) which was charged with developing a blueprint for the expansion of education technology, including a review of the E-Rate. With this funding, CSM would engage a coalition of nonprofits to help promote the LEAD Commission’s recommendations for using technology in schools. The work will focus on meeting the technology demands of online testing and enabling schools to assess students on deeper learning—a key priority of our strategy.
