ESSA Guide

Implementing meaningful digital learning requires thoughtful planning, preparation, and data-informed decision making. The Future Ready Dashboard takes school and district teams through a 4 Step Planning Process designed to meet the specific requirements of an effective action-oriented, implementation plan, aligned to your ESSA state plan.

Our flexible and intuitive interface allows district teams to develop well-written, research-based plans that align with the state-specific vision for education in ESSA plans. Based on local needs, the frame and scope of each plan is customized by each district and thus will vary significantly.

This dashboard tool is 100% aligned to the guidance provided by the US Department of Education (ED) in October 2016 regarding ESSA's Title IV planning requirements. Notably, the tool is an ED-approved tool for your regular “needs assessment.”

Today, along with the federal resources provided to schools through the provisions in ESSA, states and districts can leverage other federal programs as they use the dashboard, including the Bipartisan Safer Communities Act, and the upcoming Career-Connected High Schools Program, Broadband Equity, Access and Deployment (BEAD) Program, and the Digital Equity Act.
