  • The Effects of the No Child Left Behind Legislation on Career and Technical Education
    Career and Technical Education Research, 31(3), pp. 157-174 ©2006 No Curriculum Left Behind: The Effects of the No Child Left Behind Legislation on Career and Technical Education Edward C. Fletcher Jr. The Ohio State University Abstract This manuscript describes the impact of the No Child Left Behind (NCLB) legislation on Career and Technical Education (CTE) programs. The manuscript begins with a review of the various aspects of the NCLB legislation, discussing historical legislation leading up to NCLB and emphasizing contemporary issues that affect K- 12 education. The manuscript then addresses the curricula that are left behind due to the increased focus on core academic courses, with an in-depth analysis of how NCLB affects CTE programs. The findings are centered on four areas in which the NCLB policy affects CTE programs: (a) CTE teacher qualifications, (b) the adequate yearly progress (AYP) provision, (c) CTE reform initiatives, and (d) CTE legislation objectives. The manuscript concludes with discussion on the future implications for CTE programs such as the need for increased accountability in CTE teacher education programs and further research on CTE student outcomes Introduction With the growing expectation that all students participate in post-secondary education to be prepared for the future, it is vital to focus on student learning in K- 12, especially at the high school level (Krueger, 2004). To address the challenge of preparing students for success at the postsecondary level, many policymakers believe that an effective comprehensive school reform (CSR) initiative is necessary. One of the most recent and comprehensive school reform initiatives is the No Child Left Behind (NCLB) Act of 2002, intended to increase accountability for K-12 schools across the nation.

Findings indicated principals and teachers collectively disagreed with "No Child Left Behind has had a positive impact on the image ofCTE at your school." Both groups also agreed CTE courses can help schools meet the goals of "all students will reach high standards, at a minimum of attaining proficiency or better in reading and mathematics" and "all students will graduate from high school." However, a statistically significant difference between the groups was found with "No Child Left Behind has had a positive impact on CTE enrollment at your school." Findings indicated while the principals agree, the teachers conversely disagreed with the statement.

  • Learning Lessons: What No Child Left Behind Can Teach Us About Literacy, Testing and Accountability Allan Luke and Annette Woods
    Learning lessons: What No Child Left Behind can teach us about literacy, testing and accountability Allan Luke and Annette Woods Literacy education remains a contentious policy and pedagogic issue for communities, schools, systems, teachers and students – and politicians. Over the past three to four years in Australia, we’ve seen the latest literacy crisis played out in the pages of our newspapers and television current affairs shows. This crisis has predictably led to policy and curriculum initiatives offering simplistic solutions to the latest perceived problems. Predictable? These Australian media and policy responses parallel the debates in the United States over the No Child Left Behind Act (2001). So are there lessons to be learnt for Australian teachers and policy makers in the No Child Left Behind legislation? Here we lay out a brief introduction to the NCLB legislation and its policy effects. We document the official results and the critiques. Our case is that if Australian policy-makers wish to follow the parameters of US policy, they must consider the real problems and risks that have emerged in the past five years. In these brief comments – we put aside larger ideological and political debates. Our aim is to lay out what the research literature says about the effects of this approach. Some readers will find this paper dry and boring – fair enough. But we here want to offer a scientific and bibliographical resource for teachers who wish to engage with the debate. What is No Child Left Behind? The No Child Left Behind Act (2001) (NCLB) began from a focus on improved quality of early literacy acquisition.
