Center On Education Policy With A Report Out….

saying that more states in the USA are looking for bigger gains by the years of 2012-2013 just to meet the AYP goals of the NCLB bill.

They say that 23 states have backloaded AYP goals and that is a bad thing. No way are states going to see that much of a gain in math and reading scores in such a short period.

I feel a lot of these states are going to say we need an extra couple of years to meet the AYP goals. Not something I think will get changed by the Department of Education, but will have to be done though.
