Description |
|
Georgia educators
are charged with the responsibility of implementing the federal
No Child Left Behind (NCLB) Act which significantly
raises expectations that all students will meet or exceed state
standards in reading and in mathematics within twelve years.
The NCLB is a massive piece of legislation; therefore, the portions
of the act and regulations that are most frequently used by
educators have been included in an easy-to-use format for quick,
comprehensive reference. |
