Kennedy’s New Year’s NCLB Resolution
On the eve of the sixth anniversary of NCLB, Ted Kennedy has a column in the Washington Post outlining where to go from here in “fixing” the law.
The biggest failure of the last six years? Not adequately funding NCLB. “Struggling schools can do only so much on a tin-cup budget,” Kennedy writes.
Other improvements Kennedy calls for include assessing students beyond test scores, recognizing schools for incremental progress, boosting teacher training and staffing high-needs schools, and dealing with the dropout crisis.
