( 2001) No Child Left Behind Act
The No Child Left Behind Act (NCLB), which was an ESEA reauthorization, focused mainly on key areas including science, mathematics, and language arts (Woods, 2006). This includes the requirement to have all students to be proficient in reading and math by 2014 (Peterson, 2007). States are required to submit annual yearly progress documentation and there are repercussions to those schools that are not showing annual yearly progress on a regular basis (Woods, 2006).
