(Note: All students still need to meet grade level standards by 2014 but perhaps the NCLB law by then could be revised to reflect growth for students who are making significant progress but still not meeting grade level standards.)

Concern is rising in the ASCD community that the No Child Left Behind (NCLB) law is overemphasizing testing, leading schools to focus too much on the numbers and not enough on the needs of the children. Several recent reports raise concerns about flaws in the NCLB data collection requirements that could not only penalize diverse schools but also cause inaccurate measures of student and school progress.
