Book excerpt: To provide information about states' efforts to track implementation of key provisions of the No Child Left Behind Act (NCLBA), this study examined: state goals for student proficiency and their implications for whether schools will meet those goals; factors that facilitated or impeded state and school district implementation efforts; and how the Department of Education (Education) supported state efforts and approved state plans to meet student proficiency requirements. Researchers analyzed data from plans which all states submitted to Education and that Education approved by June 2003; obtained information from officials in the 50 states, District of Columbia, and Puerto Rico about the number of schools they had identified as meeting annual progress goals and their school and district characteristics in 2002-03; visited 4 states and 6 districts within the states, conducting phone interviews with officials in another 17 states to obtain data on factors that facilitated and impeded implementation of student proficiency requirements; reviewed documentation Education provided the states; reviewed Education regulations and guidance; interviewed Education officials about their efforts to assist states in developing plans and their process for approving plans; reviewed the status of Education's approval of states' standards and assessments systems that were required to comply with the 1994 Elementary and Secondary Act; and interviewed officials from national education organizations and other experts in the area. States varied in how they established proficiency goals and measured student progress. State and school district officials said their leadership's commitment to improving student achievement and technical assistance provided by an Education contractor facilitated implementation of NCLBA requirements. Tight timeframes for determining school progress and problems with student data impeded implementation. Education is working on efforts to help states improve their data systems, such as monitoring state data quality policies. Education helped states develop their plans for improving student proficiency, and by June 10, 2003 approved, fully or conditionally, all plans. Education asked assessment experts to review all plans and provide states with on-site evaluations. Education has developed guidance for its review and approval of states' expanded standards and assessments. Appendixes contain methods to establish starting points; percentage of schools that met state goals in 2002-03; state plan requirements; comments from Education; and GAO contacts and staff acknowledgements.

Book excerpt: In this third volume of Research in Education Fiscal Policy and Practice, editors Jennifer King Rice and Christopher Roellke have assembled a diversity of research studies focused on the current policy environment of high stakes accountability and how this context has impacted educators and students at multiple levels of the system. This effort to leverage student performance through high stakes reform has accelerated and intensified considerably since the 2002 reauthorization of the federal Elementary and Secondary Education Act, commonly referred to as No Child Left Behind (NCLB).In order for high stakes accountability reforms to realize their stated aims, targeted schools must have or acquire the resources and capacity to meet prescribed performance standards (Hess, 1999; Malen & Rice, 2005; Mintrop, 2003, 2004; Wong, et al., 1999), yet little systematic research has been assembled to document the implications of high stakes accountability systems on the resources and capacity of schools and school systems. This book aims to fill that gap. With this in mind, authors were asked to pay specific attention to challenges school systems confront as a result of NCLB and other high stakes reforms. The contributing authors were asked to think of policymakers and practitioners at local, state, and national levels as the intended audiences for their work. Our contributors responded with a collection of studies examining the relationship between high stakes reform and school district staffing, the recruitment and distribution of high quality teachers, curriculum making, and the provision of supplemental educational services to children. Our book is organized into three sections. The first provides a framework for assessing the impact of high stakes accountability policy on school capacity and also addresses implementation challenges at both state and local levels. The second section focuses on the impact of federal and state policymaking on teacher staffing and workplace conditions. The final section includes three chapters that provide a range of critiques on federal policymaking, including legal challenges to NCLB.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The federal government is deeply entrenched in American public education and virtually dictates what can be taught to students. Why? At what cost? And what are the benefits to public school students? To public schools? The author challenges the constitutionality of the feds in the classroom and reminds readers that public education has, until recently, been the function of state and local governments.
