The essential guide to understanding NCLB

The No Child Left Behind Act of 2001 is one of the biggest educational forces of our time. So why is it one of the least understood? NCLB Meets School Realities is an essential resource for educators wanting to explore and understand the issues raised by NCLB. Based on original research by The Civil Rights Project at Harvard University of 11 districts across 6 states, this text details how NCLB is put into practice, the issues it raises, and how it affects minority and low-income students. The authors look closely at the implications of increased federal involvement in education, how states designed their accountability systems to meet the NCLB requirements, and the implications of the adequate yearly progress provisions for schools and students. They examine whether the transfer policy creates better schooling options for disadvantaged families, the ability of districts to implement supplemental educational services, and how teachers view the efficacy of NCLB’s reforms. They also review one provision-graduate rate accountability-in light of the national graduation rate crisis.

NCLB Meets School Realities includes:

* Practical methods to understanding the political implications of NCLB
* A detailed look at how proficiency standards affect minority youth
* Revealing data from 11 school districts across 6 states
