  • bill that advances standards-based education reform and emphasizes improvement in reading and writing.
  • proponents of the bill, which reauthorized the Elementary and Secondary Education Act of 1965, say that there has been measurable improvement in student achievement in reading and math and an increased accountability of schools,
  • detractors argue that NCLB has caused states to lower achievement goals and motivates teachers to “teach to the test,” putting far less attention to subjects—like art, music and social studies—not represented in the standardized exam.
  • ...8 more annotations...
  • No Child Left Behind is largely based on the belief that setting high standards and establishing measurable goals can improve individual outcomes in education. The act requires states to develop assessment tests in basic skills to be given to all students in certain grades if those states are to receive federal funding for schools. The act does not set a national achievement standard but rather leaves standards to each state.
  • Kanter said that the administration will seek, among other things, to elevate the status of teachers, decrease high school dropout rates (currently 1.2 million students per year), promote early learning (birth to age 3) initiatives and drive reform to push for higher school standards.
  • he reauthorization needs to focus on education research, specifically in relation to recent neuroscience advances, teaching excellence, early childhood education, common core high standards, expansion of subject areas to be evaluated and the development of strong school leaders.
  • No Child Left Behind, there is very little reference to the role of principals and the importance of that role to school success and academic success,”
  • Alonso said that while the goals of NCLB were bold, the means to get there were modest. Too little attention, he said, was placed on pedagogy and methodology.
  • They said that curricula have been dangerously trimmed because schools are teaching to narrow tests.
  • ed that the current tests create “bubble students,” those who fall just below the standard and are given an inordinate amount of attentio
  • any reauthorization needs to promote and reward innovation in education.

  • Under this new policy, teachers in eligible, rural districts who are highly qualified in at least one subject will have three years to become highly qualified in the additional subjects they teach.
  • Now, states may determine--based on their current certification requirements--to allow science teachers to demonstrate that they are highly qualified either in "broad field" science or individual fields of science (such as physics, biology or chemistry).
  • Under the new guidelines, states may streamline this evaluation process by developing a method for current, multi-subject teachers to demonstrate through one process that they are highly qualified in each of their subjects and maintain the same high standards in subject matter mastery.
  • ...3 more annotations...
  • No Child Left Behind allows states to create an alternative method (High, Objective, Uniform State Standard of Evaluation or HOUSSE) for teachers not new to the field--as determined by each state--to certify they know the subject they teach.
  • Special educators who do not directly instruct students in core academic subjects or who provide only consultation to highly qualified teachers in adapting curricula, using behavioral supports and interventions or selecting appropriate accommodations, do not need to demonstrate subject-matter competency in those subjects.

      What does this mean for co-teachers?
  • Highly Qualified Teachers: To be deemed highly qualified, teachers must have: 1) a bachelor's degree, 2) full state certification or licensure, and 3) prove that they know each subject they teach.

  • It is also important that teachers articulate vertically to make sure their instructional program is aligned and increases rigor as the students advance grades.
  • Teams of teachers must regularly meet to examine student work and reach consensus on what proficient performance looks like at their grade level.

      One of our buildings is using Team Tuesdays. The first Tuesday is to be talk about lesson planning, another is about Learning Focused Schools implementation, another is about student work and the fourth is about data analysis. At times, a school support person attends too (literacy coach, instructional support teacher, me).
  • Drastically reduce the routine of meetings, reports and other administrative activities that take time and energy away from these essential dialogues

  • This experience left me convinced that examining student work and discussing implications for teaching are among the most powerful kinds of adult learning in which we can engage. I would suggest that there is no better way to focus adults in the schools on student results. Set aside time for the examination of student work and consider these suggestions.

  • One of the benefits of student-led groups is that they model "real-life" adult situations in which people work together, not in isolation, to solve problems. Students working in groups learn to work with people from varying backgrounds and with different experiences, sharpening social skills and developing a sense of confidence in their own abilities.

    "Teachers are discovering that informally grouping and regrouping students in a variety of ways throughout the school day can make a teacher's job easier and students more productive. This teaching strategy is called flexible grouping. "

    "The efficacy construct refers to peoples' beliefs about and confidence in their abilities to attain success in their actions. The purpose of this research is to advance the study of school administrators' efficacy through a unique model and measure designed to target the confidence of school administrators in performing a variety of leadership/management tasks. An instrument was created to measure school administrators' efficacy levels, based on the Educational Leadership Constituent Council (ELCC) Standards. A sample of 367 early career principals and principal trainees was surveyed. Through factor analysis, eight dimensions of school administrator efficacy were derived. Based on Cronbach's Alpha, the instrument has high reliability; thus, this instrument can serve as a consistent tool in evaluating school administrators' efficacy levels."
