Education Policy

What Is Education Policy?
Education policy is comprised of federal, state, and local laws and rules that are intended to regulate public education in the United States. The purpose of IEA’s education policy work is to identify the impact of proposed and current education policy and improve outcomes for educators and students. The IEA works to:

• Inform local, state, and national education policy discussions.
• Build capacity among policymakers, educators, and public education advocates for equity focused evidence-based education reform.
• Extend our network of advocates who share an interest in addressing issues related to diversity, equity, and inclusion in public schools.
