What does your ESEA look like?

What does your ESEA look like?

U.S. Department of Education sent this bulletin at 02/24/2015 04:51 PM EST

As a Classroom Teaching Ambassador Fellow, I have the unique opportunity to view education through two perspectives—first, as a teacher in metro Atlanta and, second, as an employee of the U.S. Department of Education.

Serving in both capacities means I have the responsibility to not only question what I see, but to also share my truth.

With the proposed reauthorization of the nation’s most important education law—the Elementary and Secondary Education Act (ESEA)—moving at light-speed in the world of policy, it left me wondering what my ESEA looks like.

Decision makers in Washington need to know how this law impacts the people who spend hours pouring care, sowing seeds of inspiration, and imparting knowledge into our future leaders.

Now it’s your turn to share your version of a new ESEA:

Tell us what your ESEA looks like, and share this message with those who want to have their voice heard.

Patrice,
