Mapping progress

Achiever, The, March-April, 2008

Six years after the passage of the No Child Left Behind Act (NCLB)--and midway to the national goal of having students on grade level or better in reading and math by 2014--the U.S. Department of Education recently unveiled a new resource that charts the educational progress of the country as a whole as well as by each state. The "National Dashboard: Mapping America's Educational Progress 2008" is the title of brochures aimed at helping parents, policymakers and taxpayers better understand the unique educational strengths and weaknesses of each state. The brochures are available online for easy distribution and include data on key indicators such as student populations, schools that have made adequate yearly progress and those in need of improvement, funding, the number of highly qualified teachers and student performance on state exams. To view this new resource, visit http://www.ed.gov/nclb/accountability/ results/progress/index.html.
