However, most still do not understand that what we want are student-centered information systems, not standards-based ones. We want to know what skills a student has, and we want to monitor their progress based upon\u00a0both their own learning trajectory and\u00a0grade-level standards. Yes, we want students to be on grade level, but if they are missing the important pre-requisite skills, then we want to work more intensively with them to build those skills. It\u2019s a both\/and situation.<\/p>\n<p>Thus, it is over-the-top fantastic that the Nellie Mae Education Foundation has released an RFP for integrated learning systems.

The Foundation seeks to ensure that tools and resources that support the implementation of student-centered learning are effectively utilized by New England educators. We believe that the existence and implementation of integrated suites of technology tools designed to work seamlessly together in support of student-centered learning will accelerate the transformation of traditional public education systems to better prepare all students for college and career.<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 30px;\">This opportunity is designed to support a state-wide effort to pursue integrated learning systems to advance student-centered learning.
