Council for Educational Technology Advancement

Advancing educational technology with purpose, equity, and accountability.

An independent advisory council advancing equitable access to modern learning environments, educational technology, career pathways, and workforce development.

Mandate

Four priority areas.

CETA is an advisory body of the Spaceposium Foundation, convened in support of the 10,000-School Technology Advancement Initiative.

Equitable Access

Recommendations that reduce the gap between well-resourced and under-resourced schools.

Modern Learning Environments

Guidance on the physical and digital conditions a contemporary classroom requires.

Career Pathways

Advice on connecting classroom learning to real, attainable career routes.

Workforce Development

Alignment between school programs and the skills employers are actually hiring for.

How the parts fit

Advice, execution, and verification are separate on purpose.

    Spaceposium Foundation

    Convenes CETA and stewards the charter.

  2. Step 02

  3. Step 03

    Mission Control

    Commission the capability in their own buildings and classrooms.

  • Workforce Pathways
  • Sponsorship & Philanthropy
  • Measurement & Accountability
  • Public Affairs
Credibility & accountability

What the council commits to.

CETA is an advisory body of the Spaceposium Foundation. Its members exercise independent professional judgment in developing recommendations concerning educational technology, equitable access, workforce readiness, school sponsorship, and program accountability.

Written charter

Scope, membership, and decision-making published in writing.

School selection criteria

Documented, reviewable criteria for how schools are prioritized.

Technology-neutral standards

Requirements written to outcomes, not to a vendor.

Conflict-of-interest policy

Disclosure and recusal expectations for every member.

Sponsor-recognition policy

Clear limits on what sponsorship does and does not buy.

Student privacy

Data minimization and documented consent and retention practices.

Public impact reporting

Results reported against stated criteria, including shortfalls.

Independent judgment

Members advise on the merits, not on institutional convenience.

CETA is not a separate legal entity. It does not hold governmental status and is not endorsed by or affiliated with any space agency.

Founding Council

An invitation, not a roster.

The Founding Council is being formed now. We are seeking professionals who are willing to put their judgment in writing and be accountable for it. No members, sponsors, funding, or outcomes are being claimed at this stage.
