Organizational Affiliations

Cable in the Classroom works in partnership with leading national organizations that share our commitment to enhancing and expanding learning through media and technology in homes, schools, and communities. Here are some of the remarkable organizations we team with:



As a national non-profit organization, we are members of the Alliance for a Media Literate America , which is committed to promoting media literacy education focused on critical inquiry, learning, and skill-building. This national, grassroots membership organization is a key force in bringing media literacy education to all 60 million students in the United States, their parents, their teachers, and others who care about youth.

We are an institutional member of the Consortium for School Networking (CoSN), the country’s premier voice in education technology leadership. Their mission is to serve as the national organization for K-12 technology leaders who use technology strategically to ultimately improve teaching and learning. The Consortium for School Networking provides products and services to support and nurture leadership development, advocacy, coalition building, and awareness of emerging technologies.

We support the important work of the International Society for Technology in Education (ISTE), a nonprofit professional organization with a worldwide membership of leaders and potential leaders in educational technology. We are a member of the ISTE 100 and support the prestigious Making It Happen awards program. The International Society for Technology in Education is dedicated to providing leadership and service to improve teaching and learning by advancing the effective use of technology in K–12 education and teacher education. ISTE provides members with information, networking opportunities, and guidance as they face the challenge of incorporating computers, the Internet, and other new technologies into their schools.

As a non-profit organization, we are associate members of the North American Council for Online Learning, dedicated to increasing educational opportunities and enhancing learning by providing collegial expertise and leadership in K-12 online teaching and learning.

We are members of the National Forum on Information Literacy. Created in 1989 as a response to the recommendations of the American Library Association's Presidential Committee on Information Literacy, the National Forum on Information Literacy is a broad-based group of over 90 national, international and corporate organizations committed to individual empowerment within the information society.

We support the work of the National School Boards Association’s Technology Leadership Network. It was founded in 1987 as an innovative way to bring school board members, administrators, and district technology teams together to glean best practices from other districts and to make well-informed technology decisions. Nearly 400 school districts, education agencies, and colleges of education benefit from this remarkable support system. Cable in the Classroom is the sole national partner and sponsor of their innovative school district site visit program, as well as a co-sponsor of the NSBA T+L conference.

Cable in the Classroom is a founding member of the Partnership for 21^st Century Skills, an organization dedicated to bringing 21st Century Skills to every child in America. We do this by serving as a catalyst for change in teaching, learning, and assessment. The organization is  also an advocate among education policy makers through a unique partnership among education, business, and government leaders.

For over a decade, Cable in the Classroom, the National Cable & Telecommunications Association, and the PTA have enjoyed a partnership designed to provide parents and caregivers with the information and tools they need to take charge of technology and media in their homes.
