Thank you to all who responded to Learning Forward’s action alert last month. Congress is at work this year to reauthorize the Elementary and Secondary Education Act. Many came forward to sign Learning Forward’s petition encouraging policymakers to be sure the law includes funds focused solely on effective professional learning.

Learning Forward’s advocacy efforts related to ESEA reauthorization will continue in the upcoming weeks, though it is difficult to predict the precise path this process will follow. As in past years, Learning Forward will encourage lawmakers to include at least elements of Learning Forward’s definition of professional learning in the legislation.

In the meantime, watch for any additional action alerts and see related
resources at www.learningforward.org/get-involved/advocacy, including an archived webinar describing Learning Forward’s recent related advocacy efforts.
