| Abstract | This guide reviews the testing and accountability requirements of the No Child Left Behind Act of 2001 (NCLB). It discusses: subjects on which students will be tested and when (all states must test math and reading achievement annually in grades 3-8 and at least once during grades 10-12 by 2005-06); whether children with disabilities or limited English proficiency will be tested (NCLB requires testing of all students, and states must provide reasonable accommodation for students with special needs); and how schools will be graded (each district must produce and distribute annual report cards with information on how students performed on state tests in the entire district and each school). Report cards must be made available to parents by the beginning of each school year, though states and districts may publicize the information through other channels. The guide defines adequate yearly progress (a requirement of NCLB that states set minimum levels of student improvement that districts and schools must make within a certain period) and indicates that school report cards must indicate if schools are meeting state standards of adequate yearly progress or are needing improvement, corrective action, or restructuring. The guide explains that local districts are also held accountable for improving teacher quality (each state receiving Title II funds must have a plan guaranteeing that all teachers of core academic subjects are highly qualified by 2005-06).
