Abstract: This interactive tool, initiated by the National Association of Elementary School Principals (NAESP), is designed to guide principals in engaging with state and district leaders as they prepare to submit Every Student Succeeds Act (ESSA) consolidated plans and work over the coming years to implement the new law. This tool offers principals an overview of the concept of a well-rounded and complete education, as well as actionable policy points for which to advocate for their states and districts on the following topics: (1) Standards and Assessments; (2) Accountability; (3) School Improvement; (4) District Title I Plans and Resources; (5) Providing Professional Support; (6) Student Supports and Academic Enrichment; and (7) High-Quality Early Learning. The tool highlights suggestions and resources on engaging and communicating with state and district leaders around ESSA. The guide's contents page and section divider pages are completely interactive. Users may click on a selected entry to navigate directly to that page of the guide. In addition, users may use the toolbar at the right side of each page to navigate to different sections. Finally, users can turn "pages" by clicking on the backward and forward arrows at the bottom of each page. Successful implementation of ESSA will depend in large part on principals' leadership, and the hope is that these ideas and resources offer a strong foundation for working with state and district partners. A resource list is provided.
