One of the goals articulated in the AECT Strategic Plan is to increase the association’s visibility by positioning the association as an expert international resource on teaching and learning for policy makers and stakeholders. In partial fulfillment of this goal, AECT is embarking on a series of policy briefs. These succinct documents will be designed to inform readers—state and national legislators and education department officials, for example, both within the United States and abroad—about important policy issues and topics.

We are seeking your help in three ways: 

• What are the key policy issues and topics in our field? As the AECT Policy Briefs are developed, your suggestions will help extend the series and keep the focus relevant and up to date.
• Who are the experts we might invite to draft a policy brief? Are you such an expert? AECT Policy Briefs will be written by articulate, well-informed members and colleagues. We are looking to you to help identify those potential writers.
• Writing a Policy Brief. If you wish to submit a Policy Brief for adoption, please review the Policy Brief - Structure and Guidelines and download the sample brief. When you are ready to submit your brief, download the Word document style template to create your brief.

Please email your suggestions to the AECT President and the AECT Executive Director at PolicyBriefs@aect.org.

Sincerely, 

AECT Executive Committee
