Top 10 Changes Under ESSA

Thursday February 23, 2017
1:00 - 2:00 PM
Terrace Theater

The Every Student Succeeds Act (ESSA) goes into effect on July 1, 2017. ESSA represents a significant shift in educational decision-making authority from the federal government back to the States. Given that, States have been using this transition year to determine how ESSA will alter their State systems. But how does ESSA change the current Title I requirements? What other changes under ESSA will effect Title I? What have become the top challenges under this new law? This session will review the top 10 changes under ESSA as we transition from NCLB, including rank and serving changes, school improvement, HQT, supplement not supplant standard, and more.
