The “Every Student Succeeds Act” (ESSA) recently signed into law provides an unprecedented opportunity to support high quality early childhood education and educators working in Pre-K-3, particularly with alignment of standards, curriculum and instruction. The law also acknowledges the important role of principal leadership in early childhood education and joint efforts across early learning settings and school-based contexts to address the needs of young children. 

This Webinar presentation will identify specific areas of the new law that directly support early childhood education, and explore how states and districts can provide programmatic opportunities, including professional learning, to help facilitate collaborative efforts between principals, teachers, early childhood educators and related practitioners. 

Panelists: Andrea Brinnel, Connecticut Office of Early Learning and NAECS-SDE Leadership Committee; Kelly Pollitt, Chief Strategist, Policy and Alliances,NAESP.
