Edweek Magazine brings more news about NCLB

I recently recieved a "NCLB Alert" newsletter from edweek.org, the Education Week magazine website.

The alert includes a "tracker" that features stories about NCLB. I would show all you fine people more of them, but the website only allows two articles per week.

Here ya' go:

�No Child� Effect on English-Learners Mulled

Educators who specialize in teaching English-language learners agree that the 4-year-old No Child Left Behind Act has brought unprecedented attention to those students by requiring schools to isolate test-score data for them. They disagree, though, on whether changes in instruction spurred by the law have been positive or negative overall.

�Adjunct Teachers� Could Do End Run Around NCLB Act
A White House proposal to bring math, science, and engineering professionals into public high schools to teach those subjects could bypass the �highly qualified� teacher mandate under the No Child Left Behind Act, while only temporarily easing the shortfall of mathematics and science teachers, education observers say.

More articles will be avalible next week!
