Featuring the work of Michael Rebell and Jessica Wolff who in their
recently published book, Moving Every Child Ahead, argue that the
important goals of the federal No Child Left Behind Act have been
undermined by the impossible demand that 100% of America’s children reach required proficiency
levels by 2014. Instead, they believe NCLB should be revised to require
serious efforts to give all children a “meaningful educational
opportunity” and offer Congress clear recommendations on how to do so.
