What’s New?
New tools for cataloging learning resources and correlating them to your state core academic standards are now available through the Gateway. State affiliates can make appointments to view a web based demonstration and training of using the tools to create your own searchable records on the Gateway. To arrange your demonstration, contact brucew@jesandco.org and get your members started down the path to the 21st Century vision of learning resource cataloging and searching.
NEA has partnered with the GEM Exchange, Gateway to Educational Materials, and JES & Co to support Gateway to 21st Century Skills, a website that combines state-of the art search technologies and a complete database of state academic standards for core subjects. The Gateway is your link to the resources you need to make learning meaningful and fun for your students.
NEA and your state affiliate recognize that great public schools are the result of motivated students, involved parents, and well-prepared, innovative educators. The Gateway is a great opportunity for educators to expand their professional repertoire, exchange ideas, and individualize instruction.
Did You Know?
The Gateway to 21st Century Skills provides access to the Achievement Standards Network (ASN). The ASN is a digital representation of each states core academic standards. The ASN was developed by JES & Co., a non profit organization, utilizing funding from the National Science Foundation and other sources. Metadata describing learning resources on the Gateway can use the ASN data to provide alignment information that will allow teachers and others to search for items by standards.
