The No Child Left Behind Act of 2001 (NCLB), a major reform of the ESEA, was passed by Congress and signed into law on January 8, 2002. NCLB redefines the federal role in K-12 education and aims to help close the achievement gap between disadvantaged and minority students and their peers. NCLB is very complex and has many requirements with which state and local school districts must comply. This Learning Together booklet examines the major areas in which NCLB requires schools to involve and inform parents. It provides overviews of the NCLB Act, explains NCLB requirements, offers action steps for parent notification and involvement, and suggests strategies for communities to unite in improving the education of all children. Section 1 offers an overview of the NCLB and articles to help parents and educators understand how the law impacts schools and children's learning. Section 2 explains the requirements for parental notification and involvement under NCLB. Section 2A describes NCLB parent notification requirements; Section 2B describes NCLB parent involvement requirements. Both Sections 2A and 2B offer ideas, strategies, and sample materials schools can use to carry out the requirements in ways that families will understand and find useful. Section 3 provides strategies for families, schools, and communities to work together to improve education for all children. This document is intended to be a useful resource for district and building-level teams of teachers, parents, administrators, and community members to review as they consider ways to carry out NCLB directives, school improvement goals, and partnership-strengthening practices that help every child learn.
