ETLA’s leadership is comprised of experienced educators and K–12 leaders who understand the realities schools face every day. Our work is not developed in isolation or driven by outside agendas. It is shaped through direct partnership with district leaders, volunteers, and practitioners across the state who help us identify emerging needs, design relevant supports, and respond to the real challenges facing Ohio schools.
We believe the most effective statewide support comes from listening first. ETLA works alongside member districts and volunteer leaders to ensure our services, professional learning, advocacy, and resources reflect the needs of educators, technology leaders, administrators, students, and communities.
This member-guided approach helps ETLA stay grounded in practice, responsive to local context, and accountable to the schools we serve.
ETLA supports Ohio education leaders in making informed, ethical, safe, and instructionally sound decisions about technology.
Professional learning, student data privacy support, cybersecurity guidance, AI governance support, district leadership development, and advocacy for responsible policy.
ETLA does not require districts to purchase specific products, does not sell student data, does not make procurement decisions for districts, and does not endorse tools in exchange for sponsorship.
ETLA may collaborate with nonprofit, public-sector, association, and corporate partners when those relationships support member learning, privacy, security, or leadership development. Sponsorship or partnership does not determine ETLA’s policy positions or member guidance.
ETLA is committed to clear governance, conflict-of-interest awareness, and member trust.
