Student Voices Resource Center (SVRC)

A comprehensive, online “how-to” kit developed to empower K-12 students to be part of local decision-making on the use of technology in education. SVRC reinforces the critical importance of adding the voices of students to the national dialogue around technology in education called for in the recently released National Education Technology Plan, Towards a New Golden Age in Education.

Information for People Who Care for Children

A Place of Our Own (and Los Niños en Su Casa in Spanish) is a daily television series, a website, and an extensive outreach program devoted to the unique needs of people who care for children. Family, friends and neighbors – everyone who takes care of young children – are child care providers. Every interaction and every activity of these adults with their charges provide valuable opportunities to help children learn and grow.

A Place of Our Own shares ways for us all to help children acquire cognitive, social, emotional and physical skills, as well as nurture language and literacy development.

The series also responds to the needs and workplace realities of people who spend their days caring for children by including topics such as building partnerships with families, reducing stress, and completing paperwork. A Place of Our Own’s support for child care providers recognizes the importance of their roles in the way children learn and develop. By supporting these important people and providing them with the resources they need, we better help our children prepare for school.
