Date

Mar. 07, 2019

Duration

15 months

Description

Since the 2018 midterm elections, and at a time when states are reasserting their authority for education policymaking, new and old members of state boards of education require skills and knowledge to be successful in achieving their policy goals. As the only national organization dedicated to serving state board of education members, the National Association of State Boards of Education (NASBE) works with members to facilitate the exchange of ideas and advance public education across the country. For over sixty years, NASBE has been a reliable source of information and action-oriented guidance for state boards of education, supporting them through in-depth trainings, convenings on pertinent issues, and analyses of policy priorities so that members can advance equity and excellence in public education for all students. With continued support from the Corporation, NASBE will strengthen state board members’ leadership, support new members through onboarding efforts, and share publications that highlight the collaborative work of states.

Project Title

For stakeholder engagement and communications support about the Every Student Succeeds Act (ESSA) plans for State Board members

Date

Dec. 07, 2017

Duration

15 months

Description

The passage of the Every Student Succeeds Act (ESSA) in 2015 marks a momentous opportunity in education reform by giving states the decision-making power over standards, assessments, and accountability measures while requiring stakeholder engagement that promotes equity and excellence. The chance to improve education outcomes for families across the United States is now directly in the hands of state boards of education (SBEs) who are responsible for tailoring their ESSA plans to the needs of their diverse stakeholders. Given the brand-new nature of the “stakeholder engagement” requirement, SBEs require support in implementing their plans on the ground. With over fifty-eight years of experience strengthening state leadership in educational policymaking and promoting access to opportunity in all fifty states, the National Association of State Boards of Education (NASBE), is well-positioned to support the implementation of stakeholder engagement plans via SBEs.
