No Child Left Behind (NCLB) is the single most influential piece of
federal education legislation in American history, and Hess and
Petrilli provide a concise yet comprehensive look at this important
and controversial act. Signed into law in 2002, NCLB seeks to
ensure that all American students are proficient in math, reading,
and science by 2014. Trumping two centuries of state primacy in
K-12 education, it set standards for measuring student performance,
ensuring the quality of teachers, and providing options for
students in ineffective schools. The authors trace the heritage of
these new policies, explain how they work, and examine the
challenges of their implementation.
