The No Child Left Behind Act of 2001 is the most recent reauthorization of the Elementary and Secondary Education act of 1965. The act contains President George W.

In 2001, President George W. Bush signed into law the No Child Left Behind Act (NCLB), which reauthorized the Elementary and Secondary Education Act (ESEA), a law first passed in 1965. NCLB reflects bipartisan commitment to ensure that all students, regardless of their background, receive a quality education. To reach this goal, NCLB refocuses federal education programs on the principles of stronger accountability for results, more choices for parents and students, greater flexibility for states and school districts, and the use of research-based instructional methods.
President George W. Bush’s framework for bipartisan education reform based on accountability, choice, and flexibility in Federal education programs. This reform includes increased accountability for States, school districts, and schools; greater choice for parents and students, particularly those attending low-performing schools; more flexibility for States and local educational agencies (LEAs) in the use of Federal education dollars; and a stronger emphasis on reading, especially for the youngest children. http://www.ed.gov/nclb
The No Child Left Behind Act of 2001 is a federal education reform law based on four principles: stronger accountability for results, increased flexibility and local control, expanded options for parents, and an emphasis on teaching methods that have been proven to work. The No Child Left Behind Act requires all states to utilize state assessments to determine if a school has made Adequate Yearly Progress (AYP) in the proficiency of all students. Adequate Yearly Progress is one of four measures that will be used to determine how well schools are performing in Florida. The others are: school grades, individual student progress towards annual learning targets to reach proficiency, and a return on investment measure that links dollars spent to student achievement.
Federal legislation governing Title I schools that went into effect July 1, 2002 .
NCLB is the more recent reauthorization of the Elementary and Secondary Authorization Act and represents a sweeping change in the federal government's role in local public education. NCLB has a variety of goals, but the most dominant ones are for every school to be at 100 percent proficiency by 2013-14 as measured by student achievement on state tests and for every child to be taught by a “Highly Qualified” teacher. The new law emphasizes new standards for teachers and new consequences for Title I schools that do not meet student achievement standards for two or more consecutive years.

This is the principal law that affects K-12 education. It is the most recent update to the Elementary and Secondary Education Act (EASA), originally signed into law in 1965 under President Lyndon B. Johnson. NCLB amended the EASA act in a number of areas to strengthen parental involvement and choice in education. Other Academic Indicator: Schools must meet the "other academic indicator" in order to meet AYP. For high schools, this is graduation rate, and for elementary and middle schools, this is meet or maintain progress from the previous year.
(NCLB): The NCLB Act of 2001 reauthorized the Federal Elementary and Secondary Education Act (ESEA). Title I is the section of this law that directs Federal funds to schools serving large numbers of low-income students. Key features of NCLB’s changes to the ESEA include: Increased accountability. Greater choice for parents and students, particularly those attending schools in need of improvement. More flexibility for states and districts in using Federal education dollars. Stronger emphasis on academic achievement, especially in reading and math. For more information, go to www.nclb.gov.
A law created in 2002 which is supposed to result in better schools. Many schools get onto "watch lists" because simply not enough students take required standard testing, so it is important that students take tests when they are administered. This DOES NOT mean that students will not fail if they do not do required work, etc. Students may still fail and be required to repeat a grade if they fail in school. - See Web Site
