Dear ED Review subscribers,
The Obama Administration has released its blueprint for revising the Elementary and Secondary Education Act (ESEA) to help states raise expectations of students and reward schools for producing dramatic gains in student achievement.
The blueprint provides incentives for states to adopt academic standards that prepare students to succeed in college and the workplace and create accountability systems that measure student growth toward meeting the goal that all children graduate and succeed in college.
As the President said in his weekly radio and Internet address, “Unless we take action — unless we step up — there are countless children who will never realize their full talent and potential. I don’t accept that future for them. And I don’t accept that future for the United States of America.”
