As a result of the NCPEA 2010 Conference in Washington, D.C., discussion began to address the need for NCPEA to publish Policy Briefs to be disseminated to membership and their State Education Associations and their state and federal legislators.

A Call and Search was conducted to select an Editor to oversee the Policy Briefs Initiative. Selected was:

Catherine Shiffman, PhD
Chair, Department of Leadership Studies
School of Education and Human Development
Shenandoah University
Winchester, VA

Catherine Shiffman, Editor and Lead Author

Richard Flanary and Fenwick English, Co-authors

Overview: The U.S. Department of Education is inviting each State Educational Agency (SEA) to request flexibility on behalf of itself, its local educational agencies, and schools, in order to better focus on improving student learning and increasing the quality of instruction. This voluntary opportunity will provide educators and State and local leaders with flexibility regarding specific requirements of the No Child Left Behind Act of 2001 (NCLB) in exchange for rigorous and comprehensive State-developed plans designed to improve educational outcomes for all students, close achievement gaps, increase equity, and improve the quality of instruction. Full text of Policy Brief #1 is attached below in PDF download. Permission is granted by NCPEA Publications to download multiple copies and/or photocopy for further use or dissemination. If printing, we strongly recommend printing to a "color printer."
