Goals of the Working Group

The Emerging Modes of Delivery, Certification and Planning Working Group organized its deliberations around the five-fold charge given to it by the Joint Committee to Develop a Master Plan for Education.

Identifying ways in which emerging information technologies can facilitate a more efficient and effective distribution of education services, and more cost-effective use of facilities.
Identifying best teaching and learning practices from emerging organizational forms, such as charter schools and community partnerships, and exploring how these best practices can best be replicated systemically.
Identifying methods for certifying learner competencies that are highly responsive to learner needs and that permit customization of student educational plans that can expedite achievement of their educational goals.
Identifying sensible, long-term remedies for ongoing systems planning, for the modeling of reform alternatives, and for short and long range forecasting of educational change.
Identifying ways to better coordinate the administration and delivery of noncredit and adult education.
