1: Advocacy
Advocate for education and technology policies and practices designed to effectively leverage technology for learning. Other Information:
Advocacy - the act of influencing policy and practice decisions and resource allocations - has and remains central to the
work of SETDA. We focus primarily on federal education and technology policy and budget issues, but also on state issues including
especially the interrelationship of policy at the two levels. As an organization that bridges policy and practice, we are
mindful that success for our advocacy work is determined ultimately only by its impact on teaching and learning. SETDA employs
the full range of advocacy tools - media outreach, public speaking, conducting and/or commissioning research and writing white
papers, use of social media, direct dialogue with policymakers and other leaders - including by empowering members and partners
to be good advocates at the federal, state and local levels. SETDA also lobbies within the legal limits established by the
IRS for 501(c)3 non-profit organizations.
