WHAT IS

NCLB

NO CHILD LEFT BEHIND Act of 2001Is a United States Act of Congress

that is a reauthorization of the Elementary and Secondary Education Act, which included Title I, the government’s flagship aid program for disadvantaged students.

Supports standards based on the premise that setting high standards and establishing measurable goals can improve individual outcomes in education.

Expanded the federal role in public education through annual testing, annual academic progress, report cards, teacher qualifications, and funding changes. The bill passed in the U.S Congress with bipartisan support.

Page 3: Idea

LEGISLATIVE HISTORY

The Legislation was proposed by President George W. Bush on January 23, 2001.

Page 4: Idea

PROVISIONS OF THE ACT

No Child Left Behind is requires all public schools receiving federal funding to administer a state-wide standardized test annually to all students.

AYP Adequate Yearly Progress (e.g. each year, its fifth graders must do better on standardized tests than the previous year’s fifth graders).

Page 5: Idea

IF THE SCHOOL’S RESULTS REPEATEDLY POOR, THEN STEPS ARE TAKEN TO IMPROVE THE SCHOOL. Schools that miss AYP for a second consecutive

year are publicly labelled as being “in need of improvement” and are required to develop a two-year improvement plan for the subject that the school is not teaching well.

Missing AYP in the third year forces the school to offer free tutoring and other supplemental education services to struggling students.

If a school misses its AYP target for a fourth consecutive year, the school is labelled as requiring “corrective action,” which might involve wholesale replacement of staff, introduction of a new curriculum, or extending the amount of time students spend in class.

A fifth year of failure results in planning to restructure the entire school; the plan is implemented if the school fails to hit its AYP targets for the sixth year in a row.

Page 6: Idea

STATES MUST CREATE AYP OBJECTIVES CONSISTENT WITH THE FOLLOWING REQUIREMENTS OF THE LAW:1. STATES MUST DEVELOP AYP STATE-WIDE MEASURABLE OBJECTIVES FOR IMPROVED ACHIEVEMENT BY ALL STUDENTS AND FOR SPECIFIC GROUPS:- ECONOMICALLY DISADVANTAGED STUDENTS-STUDENTS WITH DISABILITIES AND-STUDENTS WITH LIMITED ENGLISH PROFICIENCY

2. THE OBJECTIVES MUST BE SET WITH THE GOAL OF HAVING ALL STUDENTS AT THE PROFICIENT LEVEL OR ABOVE WITHIN 12 YEARS.

3. AYP MUST BE BASED PRIMARILY ON STATE ASSESSMENTS, BUT ALSO INCLUDE ONE ADDITIONAL ACADEMIC INDICATOR.

Page 7: Idea

4. The AYP must be assessed at the school level.

5. School AYP results must be reported separately for each group s of students identified above so that it can be determined whether each student group met the AYP objective.

6. At least 95% of each group must participate in state assessments.

7. States may aggregate up to 3 years of data in making AYP determinations.

EFFECTS ON SCHOOLS, TEACHERS, AND SCHOOL DISTRICTS

INCREASED ACCOUNTABILITY( for schools and teachers)-one of the strong positive points of the bill.

, In addition to and in support of the above points proponents claim that NO CHILD LEFT BEHIND:

Links state academic content standards with students outcomes.

Measures students performance: a student’s progress in reading and math must be measured annually in grades 3 through 8 and at least once during high school via standardized tests.

Provides information for parents by requiring states and school districts to give parents detailed report cards on schools and districts explaining the school’s AYP performance.

Establishes the foundation for schools and school districts to significantly enhance parental involvement and improved administration through the use of the assessment data to drive decisions on instruction, curriculum and business practices.

Page 9: Idea

SCHOOL CHOICE

Gives options to students enrolled in schools failing to meet AYP.

Gives school districts the opportunity to demonstrate proficiency, even for subgroups that do not meet State Minimum Achievement standards, through a process called “SAFE HARBOR”, a precursor to growth-based or value –added assessments.

Individuals with Disabilities

Education Act

Page 12: Idea

is a United States federal law that governs how states and public agencies provide early intervention, special education, and related services to children with disabilities.

Page 13: Idea

DISABILITIES COVERED UNDER IDEA

•Autism •Deafness•Deaf-blindness•Emotional Disturbance•Hearing Impairments•Mental Retardation•Other Health Problems•Orthopedic Impairment•Multiple Disabilities•Specific Learning Disorders•Speech/Language Impairments•Traumatic Brain Injury•Visual Impairment

SIX PRINCIPLES

1. Zero Reject - schools must educate all children with

disabilities. -rule against excluding any student,

cannot exclude no matter how severe the disability.

2. Nondiscriminatory Identification and evaluation

Page 15: Idea

-schools must used non-biased, multifactored methods of evaluation to determine whether a child has a disability and, if, so, whether special education needed.

3. Free, Appropriate Public Education (FAPE)

- All children with disabilities, regardless of the type or severity of their disability, shall receive a free, appropriate public education.

Page 16: Idea

4. Least Restrictive Environment (LRE)

- mandates that students with disabilities be educated with children without disabilities to the maximum extent appropriate and that students with disabilities be removed to separate classes or schools only when the nature or severity of their disabilities is such that they cannot receive an appropriate education in a general education classroom with supplementary aids and services.

Page 17: Idea

5. Due Process Safeguards  Procedural safeguards are a set of activities

whose purpose is to ensure that: >The rights of children with disabilities and their

parents are protected.> All information needed to make decisions about

the provision of a free appropriate public education to the student is provided to parents of children with disabilities and to the student when appropriate.

> Procedures (mediation and due process) are in place to resolve disagreements between parties.

Page 18: Idea

6. Parent and Participation and shared decision making

-This principle reinforces the belief that the education of children with disabilities is made more effective by strengthening the role of parents in the special education process. IDEA requires that parents (and students, as appropriate) participate in each step of the special education process. Students must be invited to participate in IEP meetings where transition services are to be discussed. Parent involvement includes:

Page 19: Idea
Page 20: Idea

> Equal partnership in the decision-making process.

>The right to receive notice.>The right to give consent for certain

activities such as evaluations, changes in placement; and release of information to others.

>The right to participate in all meetings concerning their child's special education.
