The Task Force for the Congress on the Future of Content
The initiative will be led by Dr. Geoffrey H. Fletcher, Editorial Director of T.H.E. Journal.
Prior to joining T.H.E. Journal, Fletcher was an assistant commissioner at the Texas Education Agency
(TEA) where he had responsibility for curriculum, assessment, textbooks, technology and professional development.
During Fletcher’s tenure at TEA, Texas created the first state-wide long-range plan for technology, enacted at
$100 million annual technology allotment, and passed the first “electronic instructional media system”
funded by state textbook funds.
Dr. Fletcher will be joined on an information gathering task force by industry leaders from basal textbook
publishers, digital content providers, content delivery companies, and professional organizations representing
the content industries (AAP, AEP, SIIA), educators (CoSN, ISTE), and education technology directors from state
departments of education (SETDA).
