Quote " 'No Child Left Behind' requires states and school districts to ensure that all students are learning and are reaching their highest potential. Special education students should not be left out of these accountability mechanisms."- Dianne Feirstein Impact of The No Child Left Behind Act It affects what students are taught, the tests they take, the training of their teachers, and they way money is spent on education. What I learned NCLB had a very big impact in what students learn.
All the tests we take are due to this act.
Checks schools to see if they are making progress.
Still a lot of debate.
