NASSP's NCLB Recommendations

The NCLB Task Force, a diverse body of principals and policy experts, released its legislative recommendations in June 2005. Many issues of importance to school leaders, such as adequate yearly progress (AYP), special education, data, assessments and testing, highly qualified teachers, and English language learners were addressed during the development of these recommendations.

The recommendation call for common-sense changes to the law that will allow for easier implementation at the school building level, while maintaining the law’s positive emphasis on reducing achievement gaps and increasing student achievement.
