| Annotation: | The Aspen Institute formed the independent "Commission on No Child Left Behind" to identify the law's successes, challenges, and problems. The Commission's report recommends a number of changes to make sure high school students not only graduate, but do so with the skills they need to success in higher education and the workplace, such as requiring districts with many struggling high schools to develop district-wide improvement plans and requiring states to create a 12th-grade assessment test to make sure graduates are college- and workplace-ready. The Commission also suggests that states report additional data to the U.S. Department of Education each year, such as attendance rates, turnover rates for teachers and principals, the percentages of students in high-level courses, and graduation rates broken down by race, ethnicity, and special-education and English-language-learner status. |
