• 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.

• 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. Yet individual schools can be inspiring examples of how looking at data and acting on it can contribute to reversing the academic effects of racism and poverty.

• Growth Models: Ensuring Grade-Level Proficiency for All Students by 2014
  LEAD & MANAGE MY SCHOOL In April 2005, Secretary Spellings announced a New Path for the No Child Left Behind Act—a set of common-sense principles and approaches to guide states as they measure their progress in meeting the law's important "bright line" goals. (Note: All students still need to meet grade level standards by 2014 but perhaps the NCLB law by then could be revised to reflect growth for students who are making significant progress but still not meeting grade level standards.)

• Is It Good for the Kids? Too Much on the Numbers...Not Enough on the Children
  Article by Gene Carter, Executive Director ASCD. Concern is rising in the ASCD community that the No Child Left Behind (NCLB) law is overemphasizing testing, leading schools to focus too much on the numbers and not enough on the needs of the children. Several recent reports raise concerns about flaws in the NCLB data collection requirements that could not only penalize diverse schools but also cause inaccurate measures of student and school progress.
