No Child Left Behind

The No Child Left Behind Act of 2001 (NCLB) is federal legislation that promotes student achievement through school and district reform. NCLB requires each state to develop and implement a system for holding all district and school accountable for the education of students. Reform efforts focus on: accountability for results; an emphasis on scientific research and doing what works; expanded parental options; and expanded local control and flexibility. Title I is the major program under NCLB. This program promotes academic excellence, enhances educational opportunities, ensures equity for all of America’s children and families and improves the quality of teaching and learning.
