Describe the Every Student Succeeds Act (ESSA) of 2015.
What will be an ideal response?
The most recent initiative in U.S. education is the Every Student Succeeds Act (ESSA) that was passed into law in December 2015 and will be fully implemented in the 2017-2018 school year. The law replaced No Child Left Behind in the process of modifying but not completely eliminating standardized testing. ESSA retains annual testing for reading and writing success in grades 3 to 8, then once more in high school. The new law also allows states to scale back the role that tests have in holding schools accountable for student achievement. Schools must use at least one nonacademic factor-such as student engagement-when tracking schools' success.
