About this title

Synopsis

This guide examines the No Child Left Behind Act (NCLB) of 2001 and its effect on the education of students in America's public schools. This guide describes the legal structure of the law, the purpose of the law, and examines important principles of the law relevant to states, school districts and schools. Because each state will have its own ways of addressing the requirements of the law, discussion questions throughout each section require the reader to seek information about their state's interpretation of NCLB.

From the Back Cover

This timely addition to Merrill's Student Enrichment Series offers a thorough, though not exhaustive, examination of the No Child Left Behind Act of 2001 (NCLB) and its effect on American public education. Coverage provides a description of the legal structure of the 1000+ pages of the NCLB, along with a succinct summary of the law's purpose and major principles. The authors explain the act's relationship to its predecessor, the Elementary and Secondary School Act, and explore the implications for teachers, principals, and school administrators of this significant and controversial expansion of the federal government's role in education today. K-12 Teachers, pre-service teachers, school administrators.
