SECTION 1. SHORT TITLE.

This Act may be cited as the ''Educational Technology Utilization
Extension Assistance Act''.

SEC. 2. PURPOSE.

It is the purpose of this Act to improve the utilization of
educational technologies in elementary and secondary education by
creating an educational technology extension service based at
undergraduate institutions of higher education.

SEC. 3. FINDINGS.

The Congress finds the following:
(1) Extension services such as the Manufacturing Extension
Partnership and the Agricultural Extension Service have proven
to be effective public/private partnerships to integrate new
technologies and to improve utilization of existing
technologies by small to medium sized manufacturers and the
United States agricultural community.
(2) Undergraduate institutions of higher education working
with non-profit organizations, State, and Federal agencies can
tailor educational technology extension programs to meet
specific local and regional requirements.
(3) Undergraduate institutions of higher education, often
with the assistance of the National Science Foundation, have
for the past 20 years been integrating educational technologies
into their curricula, and as such they can draw upon their own
experiences to advise elementary and secondary school educators
on ways to integrate a variety of educational technologies into
the educational process.
(4) Many elementary and secondary school systems,
particularly in rural and traditionally under served areas,
lack general information on the most effective methods to
integrate their existing technology infrastructure, as well as
new educational technology, into the educational process and
curriculum.
(5) Most Federal and State educational technology programs
have focused on acquiring educational technologies with less
emphasis on the utilization of those technologies in the
classroom and the training and infrastructural requirements
needed to efficiently support those types of technologies. As a
result, in many instances, the full potential of educational
technology has not been realized.
(6) Our global economy is increasingly reliant on a
workforce not only comfortable with technology, but also able
to integrate rapid technological changes into the production
process. As such, in order to remain competitive in a global
economy, it is imperative that we maintain a work-ready labor
force.
(7) According to ''Teacher Quality: A Report on the
Preparation and Qualifications of Public School Teacher'',
prepared by the Department of Education, only 1 in 5 teachers
felt they were well prepared to work in a modern classroom.
(8) The most common form of professional development for
teachers continue to be workshops that typically last no more
than one day and have little relevance to teachers' work in the
classroom.
(9) A 1998 national survey completed by the Department of
Education found that only 19 percent of teachers had been
formally mentored by another teacher, and that 70 percent of
these teachers felt that this collaboration was very helpful to
their teaching.

authority provided to the Secretary under section 2 of the Act
of August 21, 1935 (16 U.S.C. 462; commonly known as the
Historic Sites, Buildings, and Antiquities Act), established
the Adams Mansion National Historic Site in Quincy,
Massachusetts.
(2) In 1952, again using the authority provided under the
Act of August 21, 1935, the Secretary enlarged the historic
site and renamed it the Adams National Historic Site.
(3) In 1972, title III of Public Law 92-272 (86 Stat. 121)
authorized the Secretary to expand the boundaries of the Adams
National Historic Site to include an additional 3.68 acres and
to acquire lands and interests in lands within the expanded
boundaries.
(4) Section 312 of the National Parks and Recreation Act of
1978 (Public Law 95-625; 92 Stat. 3479) authorized the
Secretary to accept the conveyance of the birthplaces in
Quincy, Massachusetts, of John Adams, second President of the
United States, and John Quincy Adams, sixth President of the
United States, and to administer the birthplaces as part of the
Adams National Historic Site.

(6) The actions described in the preceding paragraphs to
preserve for the benefit, education, and inspiration of present
and future generations of Americans the home, property,
birthplaces, and burial site of John Adams, Abigail Adams, John
Quincy Adams, and Louisa Adams, have resulted in a multi-site
unit of the National Park System with no overarching enabling
or authorizing legislation.

his wife, Abigail Adams, and John Quincy Adams and his wife,
Louisa Adams, deserve recognition as a national historical park
