Implementing ESSA: What to expect in 2016

12.18.2015
The bill is signed, the law is enacted, the debates are a fading memory. Now a new phase of the fight begins. Join Mike Petrilli of the Thomas B. Fordham Institute and three leading education experts for a look at the implementation of the Every Student Succeeds Act:
 
  • The big issues the Department of Education will face when issuing regulations
  • How states might think afresh about their accountability systems, teacher evaluations, and interventions in low-performing schools
  • The timeline for the coming two years
