ESEA REAUTHORIZATION

20

Overarching Goal

Goal: All graduates have opportunities for success in the 21st century economy.

Goal: All students graduate high school on time prepared for at least one year of post-secondary.

Goal: All students enter middle school with foundational skills to tackle advanced subjects.

Goal: All kindergarten students arrive ready to learn and remain on track to 4th grade.

“By 2020, America will once again have the highest proportion of college graduates in the world.”

President Barack Obama, February 24, 2009Elementary(Grades K-5)

Secondary (Grades 6-12)

Post-Secondary

Early Learning(Birth-grade 3)

21

Overarching Principles

Raise the bar for all students. Close the gap.

Tight on goals. Loose on means.Foster innovation and reward success.

Build on the four assurances.

22

Fiscal Year 2011 Budget Includes a $3 billion increase for programs under

ESEA, and an additional $1 billion contingent on reauthorization – largest increase proposed in the 45-year history of the law.

Lays out a vision for the major themes for ESEA reauthorization: redefining the federal role in PK-12 education to focus less on compliance and more on rewarding success and supporting innovation.

Focus on maximizing impact by flexibility in approach, emphasizing competitive funding, accountability for outcomes, and evidence of results.
