NCLB: Its Problems, Its Promise. AFT Teachers Policy Brief Number 18
American Federation of Teachers
Although committed to the core goals of the 2001 No Child Left Behind Act (NCLB), the American Federation of Teachers (AFT) advocates that flaws remain in the law and its implementation in the areas of: (1) Accountability, Adequate Yearly Progress (AYP) and Assessments; (2) Teacher Quality; (3) Paraprofessionals; (4) School Improvement and Public School Choice; and (5) Supplemental Educational Services. This policy brief discusses these areas and suggests legislative and/or regulatory remedies.
