No Child Left Behind (NCLB) to Every Student Succeeds Act (ESSA).
E N D
No Child Left Behind (NCLB) to Every Student Succeeds Act (ESSA) • NCLB put in place measures that exposed achievement gaps among traditionally underserved students and their peers and spurred an important national dialogue on education improvement. This focus on accountability has been critical in ensuring a quality education for all children, yet also revealed challenges in the effective implementation of this goal. • Parents, educators, and elected officials across the country recognized that a strong, updated law was necessary to expand opportunity to all students; support schools, teachers, and principals; and to strengthen our education system and economy. • ESSA would make significant changes to the current NCLB authorization, consolidating some programs, repurposing others, and adding entirely new programs, including a $250 million preschool initiative to be jointly administered by the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) and the Department of Education.
Educational Law: Every Student Succeeds Act • ESSA shined a light on where students were making progress and where they needed additional support, regardless of race, income, zip code, disability, home language, or background. • Title Monies and School Improvement Grants (SIGs) were designed to turn-around lower performing schools through specific interventions, programs, and supports.
