No Child Left Behind Act embodies an educational reform plan that redefines the federal government's role in k-12 education. Designed to help close the achievement gap between disadvantaged and minority students and their peers, the new law will aims to define school success in terms of student achievement and invest in the achievement of every child.
 
The act is based on four basic principles: stronger accountability for results, increased flexibility and local control, expanded options for parents, and an emphasis on teaching methods that have been proven to work.
 
The principle of accountability for results involves measurement of student progress and achievement according to state tests designed to match those state standards and given to every child, every year. This law aims to empower parents, citizens, educators, administrators and policymakers with data from those annual assessments. The data is made available in annual report cards on school performance and on statewide progress.
 
The idea is to provide parents information about the quality of their children's schools, the qualifications of their teachers, and their children's progress in key subjects; and give policymakers and leaders at the state and local levels critical information about which schools and school districts are succeeding and why, so this success may be expanded and any failures addressed (www.ed.gov/nclb)
