Cautious Optimism for Public Education

Education has certainly taken front and center today!  In addition to ESSA (Every Student Succeeds Act), the NYS Common Core Task Force has published its report. The commission makes several recommendations, many of which are promising but not guaranteed.  While we can be cautiously optimistic, we must not rest until the job is complete.   We must continue to advocate for our profession, our students and our schools.  Our activism is as important as ever!
