Center on Education Includes Out-of-School Learning in Federal Policy Recommendations

"The Center on Education Policy (CEP) recently released its recommendations for the reauthorization of the Elementary and Secondary Education Act (ESEA). One of CEP's 10 recommendations is to implement a complementary learning approach to education, which includes establishing a coherent partnership among K-12 education, early childhood education, and out-of-school learning.

This document contains CEP's recommendations for reauthorizing the Elementary and Secondary Education Act of 1965 as amended by the No Child Left Behind Act. These recommendations are based on a two-year review of current and past federal policies and a wide range of research, including CEP's own comprehensive studies of NCLB and student achievement in all 50 states. In developing the recommendations, we also brought to bear our long-term experience with federal policies and consulted with numerous experts of varying backgrounds, including commissioning 11 papers on key issues.

You can read more about CEP's 10 recommendations, along with their five principles for revamping the federal role in K-12 education, in their new paper entitled Better Federal Policies Leading to Better Schools."
