Abstract: The U.S. Department of Education is in the process of benchmarking its K12 educational technology policies and practices against the policies and practices in 25 competitor nations. The purpose is to understand how US educational technology practices compare to other competitor nations. Data collected through surveys and follow up telephone interviews will help fill in gaps in information about a) what data competitor nations are collecting, b) where there are gaps between available data and U.S. national priorities, and c) international rankings and comparisons for selected indicators. Data analysis will result in country profiles that will detail country-specific information regarding selected indicators, summary and comparison of data across countries, and analysis of what additional information would need to be collected to address emerging U.S. policy priorities. Respondents will be representatives of ministries of education in the 25 selected countries.
