Every Student Succeeds Act (ESSA) and teacher education: Time to panic or think creatively?[PA]

• In Event: TED Panel: Every Student Succeeds Act (ESSA) and teacher education: Time to panic or think creatively?

Short Description

In December 2015, Every Student Succeeds Act (ESSA) passed. While commentators have been optimistic about the law, what has been less discussed is its potential impact on preparation of those who work in K-12 schools – teachers and principals. This panel of current and former deans and administrators involved in teacher education will discuss the potential impact of ESSA and engage the audience in a discussion of how colleges, schools and departments of education might respond.
