- 3. No Child Left Behind (NCLB) Act The No Child Left Behind (NCLB) Act of 2001 was the first national law to require consequences for U.S. schools based on students standardized test scores. The No Child Left Behind Act aimed to ensure that all students, regardless of race or socioeconomic status, would have the opportunity for a solid education. No Child Left Behind mandates that all teachers must be "highly qualified" in which according to the law, "highly qualified" means that a teacher must meet the license and certification requirements of the state in which they teach. A teacher must also hold at least a bachelor's degree and must pass state testing criteria to be eligible to teach. United States of America
- 4. No Child Left Behind (NCLB) Act Another issue leading to the No Child Left Behind controversy is the fact that some teachers have felt pressured to focus on subjects rated by the No Child Left Behind testing requirements, rather than focusing on providing children with a well-rounded education. Some schools have been accused of cutting back on studies involving science and the arts to increase the focus on English and Math. As a result, some complain education isnt really improving; it just means sacrificing one subject proficiency for another. United States of America
- 5. Social Studies Education At the center of a good school curriculum because it is where students learn to see and interpret the world now and long ago including its people, places, cultures, systems, problems, and calamities (Parker, 2010). Most important purpose of social studies is preparing good citizens, to help develop students critical thinking and decision-making skills.

Social Studies Education in Oreg on School -becoming overshadowed by subjects like Reading and Mathematics -less instructional time is devoted to it across grade levels due to mandated testing in other content areas -current events is the highest topic discussed issues than race, class, economics, or religious diversity -technology in the classrooms were not used often by Oregon teachers as a tool for learning; only 村 of them use digital images and videos for instruction. 1 2 3 4 -instructional strategies: whole discussion, group projects, assignments, and role playing 5
- 7. Solutions To These Problems: This study of Gayle Thieman and Kenneth Carano (2013) became one of the reason why the Oregon Department of Education received an NCLB waiver. WAIVER: a) It allows a more customized, authentic, and evidence-bas ed approach to improve the performance of the students as well as the schools b) It strengthens the performance of students who have hist orically been underserved c) It removed the unintended consequences of NCLB in the curriculum
- 8. Every Student Succeeds Act (2015) Plan to replace NCLB policies was approved in Oregon ESSA was approved into law in 2015 It provides a well-rounded education that provides real-world knowledge and skills ADDITIONAL INFORMATION from https://www.oregon.gov/ode/rules-and-policies/ESSA/PAGES/default.aspx
