ISET Mission Statement
ISET seeks to promote the innovative and effective use of existing and emerging instructional and assistive technologies to improve outcomes for all learners. ISET promotes design and development, practical implementation, research, and advocacy in the area of technology for diverse learners of all ages. ISET’s activities support professionals who work with individuals with disabilities, researchers, teacher educators, technology developers, as well as individuals with disabilities and their families.
Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion Statement
The ISET division of CEC condemns discrimination in all of its forms (e.g., racism, ableism, linguicism, sexism, classism, etc.). We support equity, diversity, and inclusion for all people. ISET recognizes that the relationship between technology and equity and diversity is complex and always evolving. When done well, technology implementation can bring new capabilities to support the full inclusion and abilities of people with disabilities. When implemented without intentionality and inclusion in forefront, technology can be used in ways that exclude and increase division. We believe that our members have a vital role to play in preventing this type of abuse. As an organization, we aim to build awareness of equity and justice issues and to include more voices to our division. We also recognize that we need to continue to reflect, learn, and act in order to break down barriers and prevent new ones from being created. Going forward together, ISET will intentionally weave in diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) initiatives into our identity, organizational structure, and all future projects.
