- How can the reforms of the law be extended to high school and beyond, and why is this important to American competitiveness?
- What kinds of options does No Child Left Behind offer to parents, especially those of students struggling in school? How can parents better take advantage of these choices or find out more about them?
- What are some examples of award-winning schools that have all children learning at grade level today, and what can other schools learn from their examples?
- What new ideas have strengthened No Child Left Behind over the years, such as growth model pilots, teacher incentives, and other initiatives?
