The National Education Association’s ESSA Conversation Starters help educators talk with colleagues and others about how ESSA will impact classrooms and students. They include key points and make it easy for others to get involved.
The ESSA conversation starters focus on eight issues:
- Educator Voice
- School Improvement
- School Climate
- Professional Development
- Equity
- Testing
- Teacher Evaluation
- Stakeholder Engagement
Educators can customize these cards and share their story when speaking in a public forum such as a school board meeting, PTA meeting, or local union meeting. The cards also contain suggestions for sharing this information through social media to engage educators and other stakeholders and ensure that each and every student has an opportunity for success.
Download the cards and start making a difference today!
