No Child Left Behind Act (NCLB)

Members often contact the NCTE headquarters for information on particular topics or programs.  While NCTE does not endorse or recommend specific programs, the membership has passed resolutions related to many current issues. This resource site is a compilation of NCTE resources, support materials, and excerpts from teacher commentary on frequently requested topics.  We welcome your contributions, suggestions, and comments.


The 'No Child Left Behind' Act of 2001, signed into law by President Bush on Jan. 8, 2002, is the newly revised version of the Elementary and Secondary Education Act, the central federal law in pre-collegiate education. The ESEA, first enacted in 1965 and last reauthorized in 1994, encompasses Title I, the federal government's flagship aid program for disadvantaged students.
