Learning Forward
Equity and excellence in teaching and learning.
The Department of Education will receive a nearly $3 billion increase over the last fiscal year in the Omnibus Appropriations Bill passed by Congress and signed by the president last month. While this is far short of the president’s request, it represents significant progress.
Most K-12 programs will see only incremental increases and not the massive change that the president had requested and that the House of Representatives had supported originally.
Title IIA, the primary source of federal funding for professional learning, received a $27 million increase in the final measure — significantly less than the $150 million increase proposed in the initial House of Representatives bill.
Learning Forward is the only professional association devoted exclusively to those who work in educator professional development. We help our members plan, implement, and measure high-quality professional learning so they can achieve success with their systems, schools, and students.
