This course is designed for educators who wish to learn how the federal No Child Left Behind Act (NCLB) will impact their districts and schools, as well as their own experiences as a teacher or administrator. Students will learn the basic provisions of the act, including its requirements for the state, district, and individual school accountability. Additionally, the course will examine the assessment requirements of NCLB, the requirements for highly qualified teachers and paraprofessionals, the act's implications for special populations such as special education and Limited English Proficient (LEP) children, and the requirements governing 'persistently dangerous schools.' Completion of the course will enable students to consider thoughtfully how best to respond to the often daunting requirements of the law.
