Study Group with Holly Kuzmich: No Child Left Behind: A Slogan or Real Policy?

Join us on Thursday, September 23 at 5:00pm ET for a Study Group with IOP Resident Fellow Holly Kuzmich. 

No Child Left Behind: A Slogan or Real Policy?
These next two sessions will explore policymaking through the lens of K-12 education.  No Child Left Behind was passed in 2002 with overwhelming bipartisan support. The successor of that law was the Every Student Succeeds Act in 2013, which built off many of the principles of No Child Left Behind but also updated the law and changed it.  This first session will dive into the initial passage of No Child Left Behind, exploring its passage, how it gained bipartisan support, and the unique coalition of strange bedfellows behind it.
