Answer to Question 2

(1) Standards. States must establish challenging content and performance standards in math, reading/langauge arts, and science for all students from 3rd through 8th
grade. What constitutes challenging standards are left to the discretion of the states. (2) Testing. All states must test students in grades three through eight each year on that state's standards. Decisions about the types of tests to use, the lengths of the tests, and the difficulty of the tests, are left to each state. (3) Adequate Yearly Progress, or AYP. All schools must have a certain percentage of students scoring at the proficient or higher level each year so that by 2014 all students, including low- SES students, English language learners, and students with disabilities, have reached proficiency in math and reading. 4) Reporting. All school districts must issue an annual report card to the public that describes how all groups performed that year. (5) Accountability. NCLB specifies increasingly severe penalties for schools that fail to achieve AYP for two or more consecutive years. These may include labeling a school as needs improvement, allowing students to transfer to other schools in the district, providing students with supplemental instructional services, and replacing the entire staff of a school.
