In December, President Obama signed the Every Student Succeeds Act (ESSA) into law. The revamped federal education law sets into motion a series of events that will influence education from state departments of education to local classrooms.

Today in North Carolina, ExcelinEd’s Claire Voorhees will present on the state role in implementation of ESSA to the House Select Committee on Education Strategy and Practices. Click here to listen to a live audio broadcast of Claire’s presentation at 11:45 this morning.

Over the next 18 months, North Carolina and other states must continue their transitions to new assessment systems, unwind their waivers, prepare for new opportunities for innovation and revise their accountability systems to meet new requirements and take advantage of new flexibilities. Each state will face an incredibly complex transition filled with both opportunities and potential perils.
