Over the past 25 years a major shift in political ideology has
refocused educational politics from equality issues to issues
relating to excellence, accountability, and choice. The No Child
Left Behind (NCLB) Act of 2001 reauthorized the Elementary and
Secondary Act (ESEA) first passed in 1965. NCLB legislation is a
continuation of the educational reform movement for improved
academic achievement that began in 1983 with publication of a
government report, A Nation at Risk, which called for higher
standards to prepare students for the 21st century. Reaction to the
at-risk report generated many reform initiatives resulting in the
assessment, standards and accountability movement today. The
organizational structure of the NCLB covers 10 separate titles.
This book provides an enhanced understanding of the NCLB major
features and suggests resources in the areas of: History of
Accountability and Achievement; Adequate Yearly Progress;
Highly-Qualified Teachers; Title I; Reading and Early Childhood;
School Reform including Charters and Vouchers; Restructuring;
School Finance; and High School Reform.
