The No Child Left Behind (NCLB) Act is designed to close the
achievement gap between disadvantaged and disadvantaged children
through its Title I program. Title I provides disadvantaged
students with compensatory education. Only Title I schools are
required to meet NCLB accountability guidelines but some states
apply federal accountability guidelines to non-Title I schools; and
states must separate achievement test scores by racial subgroups.
The book explores models to achieve equity in Title I schools. The
authors define what is required of states in Title I schools. The
NCLB guidelines are flexible: states may confine their
accountability involvement to Title I schools only and limit the
number of Title I schools in their state; states may establish
their own standardized tests and establish their own racial
subgroups. The authors examine how each state reacts and implements
NCLB accountability standards, and challenges to these guidelines
in the courts and in the body politics by states. The text examines
the achievements of NCLB, implications of the Act. The text also
reviews implications for a larger immigrant population that did not
exist in 1965 when Title I was originally enacted by Congress; and
the impact of globalization the educational needs of the country.
