Educational Psychology / Unit 12   EDP 1136 short lesson, about 20 seconds

From NCLB to ESSA

Captions available

The idea

The No Child Left Behind Act of 2002 set federal testing and accountability policy until the Every Student Succeeds Act, signed by President Obama on December 10, 2015, reauthorized the Elementary and Secondary Education Act.

In practice

Much writing on high-stakes testing describes NCLB, no longer current.

Where people slip

Treat NCLB as the 2002 to 2015 policy and ESSA as the current law.
