Noteworthy Sessions at the 2020 National ESEA Conference

Written by Dr. David Holbrook | January 30, 2020

TransACT’s Parent Notices team looks forward to the National ESEA Conference every year. It gives us the opportunity to meet with and learn more about our current customers as well as stay up to date on the topics that are at the forefront for educators working in ESEA (ESSA) programs across the country. We’ve poured over the schedule and wanted to provide you with some presentations that we think would be worth checking out at the National Association of ESEA State Program Administrator's Conference in Atlanta, Georgia, February 4-7, 2020. 

The National ESEA Conference brings some of the highest quality presentations related to issues and concerns regarding the implementation of ESEA (ESSA) programs and best practices that can be extremely helpful to educators tasked with managing these programs. When you visit the exhibit hall, be sure to stop by the TransACT booth at booth 540. We will be sharing new functionality in coming to TransACT ParentNotices, and have resources about our other products that serve programs like 21st Century Community Learning Centers and McKinney-Vento Homeless Assistance Programs. 

The sessions are separated by day and in chronological order. Additionally, we have linked each session to the description.
