On December 10th, President Obama signed the Every Student Succeeds Act (ESSA) into law – the first reauthorization of the Elementary and Secondary Education Act in nearly 15 years. The new bill gives states and districts new forms of autonomy and, in some ways, represents a rollback of the federal role in education.

As the Department of Education works with Congress and the States on ESSA’s implementation, the policy wonks and geeks at Whiteboard Advisors have been wading through the law to help you understand what it means.

Join us on February 17 at 12pm PT/3pm ET for a webinar hosted by EdSurge and Whiteboard Advisors to discuss how the new law will impact areas like assessment, accountability, and technology.

W/A’s David DeSchryver will present a brief analysis of the bill, followed by a short panel and Q&A moderated by EdSurge’s Blake Montgomery. The expert panel will include former North Carolina Governor Bev Perdue, former White House education advisor Andy Rotherham, and Carissa Moffat Miller of the Council of Chief State School Officers. Come with questions!
