ESEA/No Child Left Behind Reauthorization: Tell Congress To Do What Is Right For Kids
Reauthorization of ESEA has kicked into high gear. The Obama Administration has released a blueprint for reauthorization that NEA believes has significant problems and raises serious concerns.Of particular concern are:
- Continued emphasis on standardized testing and failure to allow for multiple measures of student learning
- Teacher evaluations tied to student test scores
- Limited and federally-mandated non-research-based turnaround models for struggling schools
- Funding streams that favor some states and districts over others
- No mention of parent or family engagement
- Insufficient efforts to address inequity and gaps in opportunity, tools, and resources
