No Child Left Behind Leadership Summits
The U.S. Department of Education seeks to disseminate widely
high quality research, guidance, and implementation strategies so that
schools, districts and States can meet the high student achievement standards
required by the Elementary and Secondary Education Act (ESEA), the No
Child Left Behind Act of 2001. The No Child Left Behind Act (NCLB) is
the Federal Government’s primary vehicle for improving student achievement
in our nation’s schools.
Through its sponsorship of the Secretary’s No Child
Left Behind Leadership Summits, the U.S. Department of Education will
provide technical assistance to state and local education leaders on how
technology can assist the implementation of NCLB. The Department of Education
will sponsor three such summits in the Spring and Summer of 2004. The
goals of these summits are to:
- Provide states and districts with the foundational knowledge
and tools to implement NCLB successfully.
- Allow state and district-level team participants an
opportunity to work together to develop an understanding of effective
ways to implement NCLB using technology solutions.
- Build state and districts’ capacity for promoting
and sustaining effective professional development in the selection and
effective use of technology tools.
- Engage states and large school districts as partners
in a national movement to improve academic achievement for all students
through the appropriate and effective use of technology.
The Secretary’s NCLB Leadership Summits offer the
U.S. Department of Education a unique opportunity to communicate with
state and local education leaders and offer insight into how emerging
technologies can help schools meet the requirements of NCLB.
