  • Education job approval for the Administration ticks up but remains low for Congress.  

  • In our new tracking question insiders express skepticism about the Smarter Balanced assessment consortium but are more upbeat about PARCC.  Some insiders also see a decrease in support for Common Core at the state level.  New tracking charts are available.
  • Insiders give low marks to federal early-childhood efforts but slightly better ones to the Obama Administration’s efforts on early-childhood.  The Head Start re-compete, in particular, gets good marks from insiders.

  • Insiders are split on funding prospects for early-childhood education overall.  However they give mixed marks to the ELC competition and see some chance that there will be ELC grants in the future. 

  • Insiders see private sector opportunities in early-childhood education in direct service provision and assessments.

  • Insiders overwhelmingly think the President’s State of the Union proposals will not be enacted this year.

  • Insiders are split on whether a second Obama Administration or a GOP administration would be better for education policy.
