In 2002, NCLB required states
to hold schools and districts
accountable for the
achievement of each student
group, including the major
racial and ethnic groups, low
income students, limited
English proficient students
and students with disabilities.

AYP measures whether schools
and districts have gaps in
achievement among groups of
students. Schools and districts
are required to meet annual
goals, with the intent that all
students will reach proficient
levels in reading and
mathematics by the 2013-14
school year.

Elementary and middle grades education
provides the foundation
on which the future of
each child is built.
Doors are “opened” or “closed”
to high school and post secondary study
based on the skills that a student
does or does not master
during the middle grades and high school.
Don’t we owe it to our students to find
“what works” and implement
it to the fullest?
