ESSA represents a significant course correction acknowledging that more than a decade's worth of education reforms based on test-and-sanction policies were a failure, and sends a strong signal to states that these failed policies should not be pursued.

We have a lot of work ahead. Join our telephone town hall next Thursday, Dec. 17, at 8 p.m. Eastern time to hear more from AFT leaders and a special guest from the White House policy team about what this means for public education.
