House and Senate Pass Rewritten ESEA!

Today the U.S. Senate approved the "Every Student Succeeds Act" (ESSA), which is expected to be signed into law by President Obama on December 10. This bipartisan, bicameral compromise effectively ends the failed policies of "No Child Left Behind." International TESOL, the American Federation of Teachers, The National Education Association, and educators like you joined together to help make this a reality. Please contact your Senators and Representatives to thank them for their support. Click here to read TESOL's Statement on ESSA.
