Classroom teachers and administrators today have been given an enormous task by the No Child Left Behind Act of 2001 (NCLB). They need more than a “quick fix” to reach NCLB achievement standards. NCLB is really about helping ALL students achieve academic success and equal opportunity to succeed in life, despite the challenges presented by poverty, homelessness, disability, and other factors.
