Renewal Blueprints for the No Child Left Behind Act

The Aspen Institute’s Commission on No Child Left Behind is the latest organization to issue recommendations for the reauthorization of the main federal K-12 education law. Here is how the commission’s ideas compare with proposals from the Bush administration and others, including members of Congress and interest groups.

Commission on No Child Left Behind
The commission would assign the National Assessment Governing Board the task of developing national standards and exams that are based on the National Assessment of Educational Progress.

Bush Administration
The Bush administration has no proposal for national standards.
