No Child Left Behind (NCLB) 2002 ✔✔is a government mandate to schools and states to have
ALL children up to grade level with their peers. It set unrealistic goals and penalized schools that
did not make Adequate Yearly Progress (AYP). The act also required all teachers become "highly
qualified". With these new benchmarks and changes to the ways states' addressed education, came

school/district. Achievement was linked to standardized testing done grades 3-8 and at least one

were set for student achievement and to develop and administered to "all" students and required
that all schools make "Adequate Yearly Practice". It also included "special needs students" in the
