We envision the CHANGE Council serving our members by providing them with:
information and insights about systemic change in education,
training on the process of systemic change in education,
networking with others involved in similar systemic change efforts,
a mechanism to engage each other in dynamic conversations through a variety of media (e-mail, NetMeeting™ etc.),
on-going opportunities to expand one's definition, personal understanding, and commitment to systemic change in education.
We also envision the CHANGE Council attracting many people who are interested in systemic change in education and who are not currently members of AECT, to join the Association and the Council.
"Where there is no vision,
the people perish."

We believe that fundamental (systemic) change is necessary in education, to meet individual learners' needs and community needs, to dramatically improve the quality of education, and to enable technology to reach its potential contribution to education.
We believe that such change must be systemic: that it must consider all components in an educational system, their interrelationships, and the effect of change on other systems of which they are a part. Consequently, we believe that systems approaches, most particularly systems design approaches, and active involvement of all stakeholders are necessary for such fundamental change in education to succeed.
Finally, we believe that our members
want to lead and participate in the development, use, and dissemination of ideas that foster fundamental change in educational systems.
"The world we have created today has problems which cannot be solved by thinking the way we thought when we created them."
--Albert Einstein
