Tuesday, March 12, 2013, 9:30 a.m. ET – 11:00 a.m. ET
Washington, D.C. — On Tuesday, March 12, the Center for American Progress and the Raben Group will host Los Angeles Unified School District, or LAUSD, Superintendent John Deasy to discuss how federal and local policies can improve his district’s current system for ensuring teacher accountability. This discussion is particularly timely because in February, Deasy’s district reached a historic agreement with its teachers on a new evaluation system and joined eight other California school districts in filing for a district-level waiver seeking relief from certain provisions required by the No Child Left Behind Act.
Bipartisan experts from Capitol Hill and the American Federation of Teachers will join Superintendent Deasy for a panel conversation about LAUSD’s reforms in the broader context of national teacher-effectiveness measures. The experts will also review how LAUSD is seeking to meet the needs of students in high-poverty communities in light of the sequester cuts that took effect on March 1.
