Readings on ESEA/NLCB
CEPS director, Edwin Mayorga, is preparing to teach Ed Policy Fall 2015 (follow us at #CritEdPol). One of the central topics of study will be the Elementary and Secondary Education Act (ESEA). We are gathering readings regarding ESEA’s history and the current discussions and debates regarding its re-authorization on Capitol Hill. Shout outs to Wayne Au, Jeremy Benson, Julian Vasquez Heilig, Michael Dumas, Maria Hantzopoulos, Alexandra Miletta, Carly Huelsenbeck, Terri Wilson, Jodie Barnhart, Kyla Torre, Alisa Algava, Lois Weiner & Cynthia Liu (and the K12 News Network) for contributing to this list. If you have others to add feel free to add it through the comments box below.
Thanks,
CEPS editorial group
