“Overhauling ESEA to Improve Public Schools: FEA’s Reauthorization Proposals”
Join us for a frank discussion of the unintended consequences of the current No Child Left Behind Act and recommendations of the Forum on Educational Accountability (FEA) to shift the focus of the federal law from penalties and compliance to a more meaningful framework for supporting improved learning and stronger school and district performance. Panelists will address key areas for ESEA reauthorization, including assessment, accountability, school improvement and opportunity to learn. Following the presentations, attendees will have an opportunity to ask questions and discuss desired outcomes and challenges. FEA recommendations are at http://www.edaccountability.org/Legislative.html.
