Standards-based education and NCLB

Certified should not be confused with qualified - NCBL makes it difficult for districts to hire attractive, cabaple people who want to teach on a non-traditional route

Standards

NCLB

21st Century Learner

Information Power

NJCCS

Costs to comply (setting standards, testing children, publishing the results and intervening in low-performing schools) are actually modest

Some states have taken NCLB seriously, but majority expect woefuly little of their students and schools, and have developed nebuolous standards.

Standardised testing isn't all bad. If the test is an honest measure of a solid curriculum, then teaching kids the skills and knowledge they need to pass it is honorable work.

Not compulsary - states can forgo federal dollars
