No Child Left Behind: Meeting Challenges, Seizing Opportunities, Improving Achievement

Achieve, Inc.
Summer 2002

You may be drowning in policy guidance from sundry organizations regarding the implementation of NCLB. Now Achieve has weighed in with a useful 14-page "policy brief" offering welcome tips and state examples under six broad headings (e.g. "building a coherent testing program," "targeting responses to help more low-performing schools succeed"). There may be nothing here that's entirely new to you but it's valuable to have these pointers and illustrations drawn together so lucidly. You can find it on the web at http://www.achieve.org/dstore.nsf/Lookup/PolicyBrief-MeetingChallenges/$file/PolicyBrief-MeetingChallenges.pdf.
