Description

The basics of No Child Left Behind (NCLB)--adequate yearly progress benchmarks, provision of supplemental services, and a "highly qualified" teacher in every classroom--are known. And the intense scrutiny of the "how to" of those basics has resulted in a mix of impassioned criticism and effusive praise. But what has been left largely unexamined in the hubbub is perhaps the law's central, if unspoken, principle: that a serious commitment to learning-for-all can help make it so. Indeed, the NCLB legislation calls for "greater responsibility" from teachers and schools for student learning. Yet we know very little about whether a teacher's own sense of responsibility for that learning makes any difference to student achievement. We know even less about how to nurture that sense of responsibility. I set out to explore both questions.
