Check State Plans: What People Are Saying
Last week, we launched the Check State Plans project to showcase the results of an independent peer review of 17 state ESSA plans. In partnership with Bellwether Education Partners, more than 30 education experts from across the country came together to identify best practices and areas of improvement in the state plans, which have already been submitted to the U.S. Department of Education as part of the Every Student Succeeds Act (ESSA).
People across the country have been pretty excited about this project. Here are some of the great tweet responses from states we’ve seen this week!

About the Collaborative for Student Success
At our core, we believe leaders at all levels have a role to play in ensuring success for K-12 students. From ensuring schools and teachers are equipped with the best materials to spotlighting the innovative and bold ways federal recovery dollars are being used to drive needed changes, the Collaborative for Student Success aims to inform and amplify policies making a difference for students and families.
To recover from the most disruptive event in the history of American public schools, states and districts are leveraging unprecedented resources to make sure classrooms are safe for learning, providing students and teachers with the high-quality instructional materials they deserve, and are rethinking how best to measure learning so supports are targeted where they’re needed most.
