No Child Left Behind in America's Great City Schools

Résumé du livre

This paper examines the status of "No Child Left Behind" in America's Great City Schools. In particular, the paper looks at the law's cascading accountability system. It includes an inventory of schools in "improvement" status; examines choice and supplemental education services programs and how they have evolved over time; and focuses on the law's "corrective action" and "restructuring" provisions and how urban school systems are implementing them. A final section discusses the overall status of NCLB in city school systems and summarizes persistent problems. (Contains 14 tables.).
