No Child Left Behind (NCLB) 2002 - ANSWERis 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 increased
accountability. Failure could mean a decrease in funding or dissolution of a school/district. Achievement
was linked to standardized testing done grades 3-8 and at least one year during high school. Tied
achievement to annual standardized tests. These tests are administered to grades 3-8 and at least one
year between 9-12th grades.



Elementary and Secondary Education Act 1994 (ESEA). Reauthorized - ANSWERChallenging standards
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 definition of
all students. States were required to set challenging standards for student achievement, and develop
and administer assessments to measure student progress towards those standards. Federal laws such as
ESEA and IDEA can be seen as legislated attempts to 'raise the bar.'

development, instruction, and the assessment of student achievement. Various professional
