Did
You Know?
| • |
Every
state that receives funding from NCLB must develop both content
and achievement standards, and those standards must apply to
EVERY public school student in the state. |
| • |
Your
state education department must consult with a broad-base of
community stakeholders including, but not limited to, parents,
teachers, principals, and other local school district personnel
when developing its standards. |
• |
Most
states have met the requirements for developing educational
standards, but many have not completed work on the assessment
system required by NCLB to be in place by the beginning of the
school year 2005-2006. |
| • |
NCLB
does NOT require the state to adopt an assessment system based
on a single test administered once per year, but does allow
the State to employ a combination of State and local assessments,
as long as they are aligned with the state content and academic
achievement standards, and allow for valid comparisons between
school districts and schools. |
