发帖数: 19398 | 1 Finally! The U.S. Senate joined the U.S. House in recently passing a bill to
replace the No Child Left Behind Act (NCLB). The Senate bill, the Every
Child Achieves Act (S.1177) passed with strong bipartisan support on a vote
of 81-17, and with historic levels of input from educators. On behalf of
ASCD, we extend a huge thank you to those of you who contacted your senators
to improve the bill so it better supports students, educators, and schools.
Read on for information about the changes that S.1177 and the bill passed by
the House—the Student Success Act (H.R.5)—would put into practice and
compare them to ASCD’s 2015 Legislative Agenda (PDF).
Reauthorize the Elementary and Secondary Education Act (ESEA): Now that both
the House and Senate have passed bills to reauthorize ESEA and replace NCLB
, the next step will be the forming of a House-Senate conference committee
to reconcile the differences between the bills to send one final package to
the President for his signature.
Honor and Support the Education Profession: Both the House and Senate bills
shift the Title II focus toward teacher and school leader effectiveness.
Both bills also eliminate highly qualified teacher requirements and provide
support for teacher and principal professional development that includes
induction, mentoring, and clinical experience. Neither bill requires states
to create teacher evaluation systems; however, the House bill specifies that
if states do create evaluation systems, they are allowed to use multiple
measures for evaluation while the Senate bill requires multiple evaluation
measures.
Establish a Multimetric Accountability System: Both bills eliminate NCLB’s
adequate yearly progress requirements and require states to create their own
accountability systems that annually measure student performance. The
Senate bill, however, states that these accountability systems must include
more than test scores. The Senate bill also requires states to show how they
monitor school climate, discipline, homeless children, and early education.
Reduce the Reliance on Standardized Testing: H.R.5 and S.1177 maintain NCLB
’s testing regimen—annual testing in grades 3–8 in math and English, and
grade span testing in science. The House bill states that students who opt
out of the federal testing mandate will not count against the required 95
percent participation rate. The Senate bill requires states to ensure that
parents receive information about federal testing requirements.
Promote a Whole Child Education: Although the House bill eliminates more
than 70 programs that support a whole child approach, the Senate bill
maintains these programs and requires states to monitor and report on
indicators such as school climate and safety. The Senate bill also creates a
new block grant program for states that provides support for mental and
physical health; bullying, harassment, and violence prevention; and school
readiness.
It’s true that this is a monumental and exciting time for educators and
education policy, but the heavy lifting isn’t quite finished. Stay tuned
with Capitol Connection as H.R.5 and S.1177 enter conference for more
opportunities to contact your representatives in Congress to ensure that our
federal education law best supports our schools. For more information, see

and H.R.5. | a*****g

关于你说的，“学生 opt out test就不算在学校成绩里面了”，说实在的
这是没有办法的办法。
因为总是有一小群学生无法接受 test 的最低要求。社会的现实不是那么
理想的，你如果不让那一群 opt out，后果就是整个 testing system
被 pull downward，因为 difficult problems 被 opt out。NCLB
最后就是这个结果。
这就好比这版总是有无法接受 “The Truth (of National Percentiles)”
的人群，如果你不允许他们 opt out，他们一定会拼死把你给 opt out。
这事已经在这版上都已经发生了，将来也会继续发生。INEVITABLE。

需要学校考试能及格。
另一方面，也不能因为学校考试不及格，就把这部分娃从公立学校踢
出去。你踢出去事小，没人管那些娃，那些娃无所事事，导致增加犯
罪率，那事情就大了。
所以解决的办法，说白了，就是允许一部分不太有希望及格的娃，可
以 opt out。不用参加考试，也可以继续在公立学校里混年头。这样
既人道主义，又皆大欢喜。

缺乏战略性思想指导下的民主投票把教育搞过去又搞过来
则仍然以诚相待，言之有信。你是哪一类呢？
