This conference will provide an in-depth look at two key provisions of the No Child Left Behind Act two years after its creation. Increased public school choice-meant to encourage the improvement of traditional public schools and the availability of supplemental services (essentially free tutoring services)-are intended to provide positive education options and support better achievements for children in failing schools. This event will consider new research on what has transpired thus far at the state, local, and school levels and what lessons that experience holds for practitioners, policymakers, and parents.
The entire set of revised papers will be included in Leaving No Child Behind: Options for Kids in Failing Schools (forthcoming August 2004) published by Palgrave Macmillan.
