Education Post-No Child Left Behind

Guest: Vernon Henshaw, PhD, Retired Superintendent of the Alpine  School District in Utah and Adjunct Faculty in the McKay School of Education at Brigham Young University; Suzanne Bolingbroke, Director of Literacy for the Alpine School District; Suzanne Parker, Literacy and Instructional Coach in the Provo School District  An era ended in mid-December when Congress passed—and the President signed—a law called The Every Student Succeeds Act. It replaces the No Child Left Behind Act, which was enacted in 2002 and for more than a decade would come to define, and to some defile, America’s system of educating its youth. We are looking back at the legacy of No Child Left Behind—the good and the bad—and ahead to what might come under The Every Student Succeeds Act.
