No Child Left Behind(NCLB)
By
Shyanne
My Stance
• The No Child Left Behind Act is unrealistic. We can push and push, but kids won’t be up to level. The real problem though is what it’s doing to children that need extra help. Maybe all it is, is a dream.
School District’s Stance
• “The report indicates that while efforts to meet NCLB accountability standards have improved short-term student outcomes, the act's narrow assessment criteria creates pressure for schools to reverse inclusion efforts and may contribute to higher drop-out rates among students with disabilities (Sandi Cole, Indiana University).”
What is it?• President Bush’s education plan• New Federal guidelines • Low performing schools• Pumps money into reading programs • Passed 2001, put into law 2002• Public schools
– Narrowed curriculum– Kids are a hassle – Higher drop out rate – Every two years you need to improve until 2014
when everyone should be at the same level
Basics
• Four parts– Stronger accountability – Increased flexibility and local control– Expansion for parents– Teaching methods that work
Flexibility
• Gives teachers more time to help students learn
• Gives administration time, too
• More help (free tutors)

Special Education and Other Disabilities
• Pros– Mainstreaming– Students now count– Improved test scores– Collaboration of
regular and special ed teachers
– Higher standards in a curriculum
• Cons– Most schools aren’t
making AYP– Removing kids from
regular classes (mainstreaming)
– Pass or fail– Remove special
education
Special Education and Title I
• Special Education– Fills the needs of children
with ADD, ADHD, Dyslexia, Autism, and other learning disabilities.
• Offers – Speech/Reading– Learning to get along
with everyday life
• Title I– Wants to give kids with
problems the chance– Mainly for help with
reading disabilities
• Offers– different levels for
reading
• Both are to help improve schools
What’s happening?
• "Schools are being asked to do two very different things," Cole said. "On the one hand, they are accountable for each student's Individualized Education Program under IDEIA and they need to measure progress over time. But No Child Left Behind measures achievement based on a standardized score at one point in time during the year, and does not give schools credit for a student's IEP goals. (Sandi Cole, Indiana University)”
Testing
• Standardized Test’s = Reading and writing (mostly)– NECAP, MPR, NEW, etc.
• Kids in high school admit to the stress imagine elementary kids• Imagine the special education kids

Individuals with Disabilities Education Improvement Act
• 1997• Reauthorized 2004• Individualized curriculums • Individual assessments• Growth over a year• While NCLB is only for math and reading • Makes it so 504’s and IEP’s can’t be taken
away from schools
Why It Isn’t Working
• More money to improving school districts (by statistics rich schools)
• Takes money from school districts falling behind
• Doesn’t go to special education, they get the cuts
• Like Robin Hood
www.educationsector.org
Money Taken Away
• Schools Need• Public schools are
free– Regular student-
$7,552– Special Ed- $9,369 – Equaling $16,921– 40% should be paid
• They Receive• These shortfalls
take away from all children– 20% is paid– 10.6 billion under
what they are supposed to pay
Teacher’s Of the Year
• Please see below video…
Teachers
• Most teachers dislike NCLB• Puts more stress on them• Certain achievements• Changes plans• Less young teachers• NEA doesn’t even approve• Protesting

Ms. McPherson
• Positive– There’s a goal to work to
• Negative– First step toward national
education– Increasing a drop out
rate– Depending on who’s in
office depends on what’s taught (not the children’s choice)
– School closings
• Testing = Hesitance– don’t know the students
emotions/ stress level– Can put kids right into
the Army– Teacher’s teach to the
test– Some disabilities aren’t
even on the tests– If your mother was good
in school you will be– Economic level shows
how well you do
Ms. McPherson and Self Assessments
• Her job– Teach the children with disabilities, and mental
retardation– They have subjective assessments that aren’t
always accurate– Has to make portfolios (if the teacher’s good the
student gets marked as good, vice versa)
• Mainstreaming shows behavioral problems on both sides– Students that are mainstreamed that don’t do well
causes cuts for teachers– Country had so many cultures
Mr.Simano
• Positive– Classrooms are set up
differently– Had to higher their
degrees– The testing twice a year
helps see progress
• Negative– More need of special
education– Had to get more
“educated”– Maybe too much
testing
Ms. Clark
• It was a good idea, but they executed it too fast.
• A national curriculum instead of a national test
• Takes money from the already poor districts• Statistics show that poor communities do
poorly on tests
Mr. Jones
• Plus Side– Gives equal education to
every student.– Smart kids got all the glory
and kids who struggle don’t get as much attention.
– Makes all teachers responsible for every students learning.
– Makes you think how different schools do what they do.
– Serves more students. – Can’t have excuses.
• Negatives– “The idea’s wonderful, but
it isn’t working.”– “It’s impossible because
not everyone will reach that level. I don’t think I’m at that level.”
– We’ll never hit it because some people can’t reach that level because of handicaps, or other problems.
Parents
• Most strongly against it
• Lowers their children and teachers self esteem
• Testing is overwhelming
• Protesting
My Legal Guardian
• My Gram– They give them the answers
– Makes teachers liars
– Non-realistic
– Mainstreaming is not fair
– Just pass them along, to make AYP
– Testing proves the problemswww.shropshire.gov.uk

One of Our Students
• Trevor B:
• It punishes schools that need more help
• If you do poorly on the tests you’re getting less money
• Teachers are cheating
Kids Who Don’t Need The Help
• Want kids to be at a certain level what about the kids that are?
• Change in classroom
• Concentration• Slow learning
www.transitionsabroad.com
My Sister • Hears with hearing aids• Learns slowly her IEP’s
show this• Her hearing is
decreasing• Her impairment is
hereditary, and she is to have an aid in schools as well as special education
• HCMS didn’t have the right accommodations
www.Clarke school.org
www.Clarkeschool.org
Clarke vs. HCMS and the State
• Clarke– Has the programs to
deal with hearing impairment
– $95,000 a year
• HCMS– Doesn’t have
qualified teachers (budget cuts)
– Free public school
• State– The school is
supposed to make accommodations
– Pay for Sarah’s tuition
– Supposed to see what IEP’s and 504’s say, they can’t be removed
Autism and Hearing Impairment
• Two different impairments
• The same aid had my sister, and friends brother
• Both parents’ fought to get their children to not have the aid
• This aid wasn’t and still isn’t qualified
• The cuts again
I Ask YouIs No Child Left Behind Working
