• NCLB A Catch-22 for Language Learners
  November 2006 | Volume 64 | Number 3 NCLB: Taking Stock, Looking Forward Pages 22-27 Common sense dictates that if you administer a test to students in a language they don't understand, they probably won't do well on it. Nevertheless, NCLB mandates that English language learners do just that, and schools are punished if they don't. The latest Educational Leadership examines this and other flaws of NCLB in respect to English language learners.

  Ardith Davis Cole presents an instructional model that is dramatically different from anything you might find in most "test prep" resources. At last, teachers and school districts have a powerful alternative to those isolated skill-drill workbooks.

• By The Numbers
  More and more, states are requiring school districts to look at test scores according to race, poverty, and gender so schools will acknowledge and deal with differences in achievement. Educators may be sensitive to this requirement because schools often are caught in shifting or superficial political agendas.
