No Child Left Behind
The No Child Left Behind Act of 2001 (NCLB) frames the structure of accountability in education to help all children reach proficiency by 2014.
NCLB embodies four key principles of education reform: Accountability, Flexibility, Choice, and Methodology.
![Page 8: Title I Teacher Training Module No Child Left Behind Act of 2001.](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062619/55155509550346a1418b464f/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
Purpose of Title I
Help children who are low achievers meet high academic standards.

Title I Requirements
Under Title I, states and districts are required to close the achievement gap by the following methods:
o Targeting dollars to low-performing students.
o Placing a “highly qualified” teacher in every classroom.
o Improving the qualifications of paraprofessionals.
![Page 10: Title I Teacher Training Module No Child Left Behind Act of 2001.](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062619/55155509550346a1418b464f/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)

Single Accountability System
New Jersey has a Single Accountability System, in compliance with NCLB requirements, to ensure that all schools will make “adequate yearly progress” (AYP) toward meeting the state’s academic achievement standards.
Students must score “Proficient” or “Advanced Proficient” levels on state assessments.
![Page 16: Title I Teacher Training Module No Child Left Behind Act of 2001.](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062619/55155509550346a1418b464f/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
Single Accountability System (cont.)
AYP is based on assessment results and participation plus secondary indicators
• Attendance for elementary and middle schools
• Graduation rate (starting in 2004- 2005) for high schools
Student participation in state assessments must meet 95%.
The goal is that all students will be proficient by 2014.
![Page 17: Title I Teacher Training Module No Child Left Behind Act of 2001.](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062619/55155509550346a1418b464f/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)

State Assessments
Students are currently tested in grades 3, 4, 8, and 11 in language arts literacy (LAL) and mathematics using the state assessments.
Other grades will be phased in. By the 2005-2006 school year, LAL and mathematics tests will be administered in every year in grades 3 through 8 and once during grade span 10-12.
Science will be tested in all the above grades by the 2007-2008 school year.
![Page 19: Title I Teacher Training Module No Child Left Behind Act of 2001.](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062619/55155509550346a1418b464f/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
State Assessments (cont.)
An Alternative Proficiency Assessment (APA) will be administered to eligible students with disabilities.
LEP students must be tested.

What Happens if AYP Is Not Met?
Year 1 − Early Warning: School did not meet AYP in at least one content area for total student population or one or more subgroups.
Year 2 − Choice: School did not meet AYP in the same content area for two consecutive years. School identified as in need of improvement and must offer intradistrict choice and prepare School Improvement Plan.
Year 3 − SES: School did not meet AYP again; it must continue to offer choice and also offer supplemental educational services (SES).
![Page 25: Title I Teacher Training Module No Child Left Behind Act of 2001.](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062619/55155509550346a1418b464f/html5/thumbnails/25.jpg)
What Happens if AYP Is Not Met? (cont.)
Year 4 − Corrective Action: School did not meet AYP again; it must continue to offer choice and SES and also prepare a Corrective Action Plan.
Year 5 − Planning for Restructuring: School did not meet AYP again; it must improve academic performance or go into restructure status.
Year 6 − Restructuring: School did not meet AYP again; it is identified for restructuring, which could result in state takeover.

Data-Driven Decision-Making
NCLB requires schools to make critical decisions regarding instructional and academic services based on data analysis.
Collectively and interactively, data informs schools of the impact of current programs and processes on their students so that decision-making can occur.
![Page 28: Title I Teacher Training Module No Child Left Behind Act of 2001.](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062619/55155509550346a1418b464f/html5/thumbnails/28.jpg)

Evaluating an Educational Intervention for Research Worthiness
Is the intervention backed by “strong” evidence of effectiveness?Randomized controlled trials that are
well-designed and implementedTrials showing effectiveness in 2 or
more typical school settingsTrials in schools similar to your
school

Positive Results
The most accurate predictor of a student’s achievement in school is not income or social status, but the extent to which that student’s family is able to: Create a home environment that encourages learning. Communicate high, yet reasonable, expectations for their children’s achievement and future careers. Become involved in their children’s education at school and in the community.

District and School Plans
NCLB requires schools and districts to implement parental involvement plans.
![Page 57: Title I Teacher Training Module No Child Left Behind Act of 2001.](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062619/55155509550346a1418b464f/html5/thumbnails/57.jpg)
Collaboration Required by Title I
Districts must include parents in the development of their parent involvement policy.
Schools must develop a School-Parent Compact that outlines how parents, school staff, and students will share responsibility for improved student academic achievement.
In some cases, Title I funds must be set aside for parent involvement activities (1% of allocations over $500,000).

Building Capacity
Through the NCLB “14 Activities to Build Capacity for Parental Involvement,” the schools and district will ensure effective partnerships between the parents and community and the school. Six activities are required; eight are suggested. NCLB Section 1118

Parent Options for Schools Identified for Improvement
Intradistrict Choice: Parents of all children in a school identified for improvement may choose to transfer their child to another “available” public school in the district. The choice school cannot also be in improvement status or identified as “persistently dangerous.”
SES: During the second year of improvement status, or if choice is not an option in the first year, eligible students must be offered supplemental educational services, provided by state-approved vendors.

Follow-up Activity
Sample School A shows gaps in both LAL and math for subgroups African-American, Hispanic, LEP, and Special Ed. The school needs to actively engage the parents to be more involved and supportive of the school endeavors. Parents can be provided with some lessons that the students can work on at home.

The Federal Context: NCLB
The Highly Qualified Teacher initiative is a federal mandate that requires states to demonstrate the alignment between teachers’ academic preparation and their content area teaching assignments through each state’s licensing system.
Teachers’ content expertise is the strongest predictor of student achievement.
