As stated in the American Competitiveness Initiative (ACI) announced in 2006, agencies have a clear mandate to sustain the Nation's military, scientific, economic, and technological preeminence through investments in computing and communications.
Among the policy proposals that will be reviewed at the summit is President Bush's American Competitiveness Initiative, a package of priority investments and policies related to research and development, the science and engineering workforce and math and science education.
Among the many features are: an overview of the current state of the teaching profession and what is being done to place a high-quality teacher in every classroom; innovative and alternative strategies to recruit, train and reward effective teachers; and how programs like the Teacher Incentive Fund, along with the proposed Adjunct Teacher Corps and other teacher quality programs under the American Competitiveness Initiative, are designed to strengthen our nation's teachers, schools and students.
But Bush is requesting $136 billion over 10 years for the American Competitiveness Initiative, which would emphasize math instruction from early grades and ensure high schools offer more challenging coursework.
In conjunction with his 2007 budget, President Bush launched the American Competitiveness Initiative (ACI) to increase US scientific and educational competitiveness.
Another Johnson favorite: a program similar to President Bushes American Competitiveness Initiative, which aims to strengthen education by focusing on math and science.
