Alan Khazei on Technology

Expand internet learning and science education

Improve education in Science, Technology, Engineering, and Math (STEM)
• Expand public-private partnerships such as the MA Academy of Math and Science, and encourage universities, private companies, and professional organizations to engage with our K-12 educational system to promote STEM education.
• Support Pres. Obama's goal to prepare 100,000 new STEM teachers in the next 10 years by providing tax credits of up to $1,500 as proposed in the National STEM Education Tax Incentive for Teachers Act.
• Create new and innovative ways to educate children and attract them to STEM fields, such as video games and graphic novels.
  Provide options for internet-based learning
  • Increase access to high-quality online learning materials for students of all ages, such as MIT's OpenCourseWare.
  • Develop virtual schools such as Massachusetts Virtual Academy at Greenfield and encourage physical schools to take advantage of online coursework.

  Focus on mobility as key determinants of senior wellness

  Q: In the course of fixing our roads and bridges, do you support policies to improve roadway design to make sure that streets are safe for all persons regardless of age, physical ability and mode of transportation?
  • SUPPORTS Create a Complete Streets safe design policy for users of all abilities.
  • SUPPORTS Fund roadway safety guidelines for older drivers.
  A: For the elderly and disabled, mobility is one of the key determinants of health and wellness and the main predictor of their ability to stay at home through infirmity. The ARRA affords a unique opportunity to upgrade our obsolete infrastructure to conform to best practice guidelines. I am fully supportive of AARP's "Complete Streets" initiative aimed to improve roadway design to make sure that streets are safe for all persons regardless of age, physical ability, & mode of transportation. I favor working closely with planning agencies to create multimodal accommodations that strike a right balance in our transportation system. Source: 2009 AARP Voter Guide: MA Senate , Dec 1, 2009
