    Instructions

    1. In groups of 4, each pair of students will read one of the two article summaries about ESSA.  Article one (Report from the National Urban League on how States’ ESSA Plans Rate in Promoting Equity?) is linked here and the second an ESSA summary from the US Department of Education is here. 
    2. Discuss your reading and prepare to share it with the other pair in your group.
    3. Each pair will share the information from their reading with the other pair. 
    4. Now look at the information sheet entitled Required Under ESSA and Optional Under ESSA.  Discuss what you learn from these.
