surveys does not currently exist,
especially in a format that allows
comparisons between DoDEA and
national trends. The data resulting from
the survey will be used by DoDEA as a

effective in assisting DoDEA in
providing well-planned technology
initiatives that meet the needs of our
military-connected students and other
stakeholders. The data will also be used
to plan training and professional
development for DoDEA employees,
especially teachers, as it will accurately
reflect the needs of teachers and other
staff members alike. The data are
essential to meet the President’s charge
in the recent technology-focused
ConnectED initiative as well as the
Presidential Study Directive 9:
Strengthening Military Families, which
states that ‘‘The Department of Defense
commits to making DOD Education
Activity (DODEA) schools a leader in
