Jason suggests reading the Act…

Jason suggests reading the Act itself and I thought I would use some of the elements of the act to illustrate some of the more direct effects that we’ve seen.


“(H) INTERMEDIATE GOALS FOR ANNUAL YEARLY PROGRESS– Each State shall establish intermediate goals for meeting the requirements, including the measurable objectives in subparagraph (G), of this paragraph and that shall– (i) increase in equal increments over the period covered by the State’s timeline under subparagraph (F); (ii) provide for the first increase to occur in not more than 2 years; and (iii) provide for each following increase to occur in not more than 3 years.”


In a recent meeting with school administrators and staff there was discussion that the staff would no longer need to work on determining the levels of improvement they would try to achieve based on the actual make up of a particular class of students as the improvement number are now relatively fixed for each year from now until 2012, and regardless of the abilities and levels of skill in the students enrolled in any year the improvement levels are fixed.
