No Child Left Behind - COMMUNICATIONS RESOURCES

Communicating 
No Child Left Behind in Washington State

While school leaders have already been exposed to the tremendous impact of the law, the general public does not possess the same level of knowledge. Parents, community groups, business and the media are all key audiences for public schools; and they are important partners in the process. The more proactive education leaders can be to inform them about the new law, the more support and understanding these groups will have for the good work accomplished each day in classrooms across the state.

Washington State's work on education policy and practices are reflected in these materials. Each piece is presented in MSWord and districts are encouraged to modify them to fit district needs. 

The entire toolkit is available in Adobe Acrobat pdf (302k) format.

No Child Left Behind is a controversial measure with supporters and critics on both sides. The materials presented here are not intended to be persuasive on the issues. They have been created to help communicate with key audiences about important provisions of the law, and its effects on the school community.
