No Child Left Behind
No Child Left Behind
NCLB Overview
Assessment and Accountability Requirements
Educator Quality
No Child Left Behind
Most sweeping reform since the Elementary and Secondary Education Act passed in 1965.
Redefines the role of federal education by requiring high standards and a system of accountability.
NCLB…a little background information
1965 - Origin of the Elementary and Secondary Education
Act (ESEA)
1994 - Reauthorization of ESEA, with similar provisions but
less accountability
2001 - Bill before Congress (HR 1), sponsored by Speaker
Hastert of Illinois and others
2002 - Bill moved through Congress, passed in December
2001 and became Public Law 107-110 on January 8, 2002
NCLB will now exist for 6 years from the date of enactment,
and then reauthorization process will begin again.
What Must Change? Every state must develop and implement a
single statewide accountability system and account for the achievement of all public school students.
The accountability system must include any rewards and sanctions it will use.
Every state must define Adequate Yearly Progress (AYP).
Under NCLB a small sample of students in each state will participate in the fourth- and eighth-grade (NAEP) in reading and math every other year.
Involves approximately 100 schools at grade 4 and 100 schools at grade 8 in each state.
Assessment data will help the US Department of Education verify the results of statewide assessments required under Title I.
Administrated by Federal Contractors.
National Assessment of Educational Progress (NAEP)
Federal Assessment Requirements
Assessment of State Standards in at least reading + math In all grades (3 through 8) by 2005-2006Once in grades 9-12
Assessment of ScienceAt least once in grades 3-5, 6-9, and 10-12 by 2007
States must meet Adequate Yearly Progress (which includes progress in specific subgroups)
What do we need to
know about AYP?
AYP(Adequate Yearly Progress)
AYP represents the annual academic performance targets in reading and math that the schools, districts and States must reach to be considered on track for 100% proficiency by school year 2013-14.
In 2007 schools must also make AYP in science.
As required by NCLB, each state shall establish a baseline target for AYP.
States shall develop a timeline for AYP that sets targets for all students to meet or exceed the state's standards no later than 12 years after the 2001-2002 school year.

Shall provide for the first increase to occur in not more than two years.

All schools will have a “multiple hurdle” model in which they need to make AYP in all areas to be considered on schedule.

Baseline Target
2001 - 2002
All students and all subgroups of students must meet or exceed standards in, at a minimum, Reading and Mathematics in
12 years.
If a school fails to meet AYP for the school as a whole or for any subgroup, the requirement can be fulfilled by decreasing % not meeting standards by 10%.
School must also increase additional indicators.
Example: If a school’s LEP population is 70% NOT meeting standards in 2002… The LEP students
increase 7% (37% Meet) in 2003 instead of getting all the way to 45%.
This results in meeting the target for that hurdle.School must also
increase additional indicators.

Schools must increase one other academic indicator at the elementary level. (This indicator is determined by each state.)
The indicator for elementary schools in our state is _______.

Parental Notification Requirements
District must notify parents they have the right to request information on the professional qualifications of teachers.
Schools must provide timely notice to parents if a student is assigned for 4 weeks or more to a teacher who is not “highly qualified.”
Beginning with the first school year after NCLB, each school receiving federal Title I funds was required to ensure that all teachers hired and teaching in a program supported by those funds are highly qualified.
States are required to submit a plan to USDE to ensure that every teacher in the state is highly qualified to teach in his or her subject area by the end of the 2005 - 2006 school year...no teaching out of field…
Highly Qualified Personnel
For paraprofessionals hired after January 8, 2002 or for current instructional aides, employed with Title I funds, there are new federal requirements:
By 2004 - 2005, all current teachers’ aides must havecompleted at least two years of study at an institution of
higher education;obtained an associate’s or higher degree, ormet a rigorous standard of quality established at the
state and local level, which includes an assessment of math, reading and writing.
Highly Qualified Personnel
Among the Best Features: Reading First
Beginning in 2004, up to 10% of new money, but not more than $90 million, would be available as incentive grants to States that successfully increase the number of students reading at a proficient level.
States may use 20% of the funds to develop and implement a program of professional development for teachers of grades K-3.
States may use funds for planning administration, and reporting.
