The NCLB Act was introduced in 2001 by President George W. Bush. This law was re-authorization of the gov Elementary and Secondary Education Act of 1965 (ed., 2006). The law was created in February 2002, leading to reforms in education (Wright, 2005, passed S. 4). NCLB was the idea of President Bush's education reform with four main focal points of his plan are. This piece of legislation was aimed at increasing accountability for states, school districts andSchools, more choice for parents and students, in particular participation in underperforming schools to give to give more flexibility in spending federal education dollars, and place a strong emphasis on reading.
The NCLB has many positive points, but also has many falls. For example, with the establishment of this law was stronger accountability for student performance. This made school districts and administrators more aware of what teachers were teaching inClass. Schools have been asked to show proper Year Progress or AYP, in order to obtain additional state funding as a reward.
Furthermore, it has become increasingly important as standardized tests for assessment of students, teachers, schools and place, including the preparation of students for these exams. Clearly, the best way to prepare students for the tests is to teach them the content, but this leaves very little time to cover the normal curriculum. Moreover,Schools would need special education students and students with limited English skills, you will receive appropriate accommodations through the test is allowed. In addition, students must receive instruction in the most appropriate test, taking strategies to improve performance and reduce the anxiety of a trial run (Jewell, 2004).
Another advantage of this law, you are parents, has the power to choose the education of their children. If you thought their child, while a poor school performancehad to send the right to an appeal or a voucher for them in another school. To ensure that all children have equal opportunities for good education. The decline of these parents is how the system does not use this are not known. For example, you can end up with 80% of a school with children of migrant workers or low socio-economic disadvantage because their parents filled with children are not aware of this program.
This bill would increase funding for school technology.The advantage is that the children would be trained and taught with tools for the twenty-first century. The downside is that it is one of the programs that the cut in February this year, this part of NCLB (American School Board Journal, 2006, p.71). They were produced using programs such as computer-based reading program, of course.
These are all the many ways in which NCLB could affect the classroom. Those who have the greatest impact appears to be responsible. When teachers spend most of their timeThe teaching of identifying the test instead of teaching the core curriculum is to ask: "What is the school?" Students do not go to school to make new friends, what today is increasingly a plant, or how many days you will have for a seed to grow. They spend their days learning at a good level of targets or Terra Nova.
