focus question 1.1: what is the no child left behind act?
activity
learning about nclb
many students have heard about the no child left behind act, but they have never
examined the impact of nclb on everyday education. this activity may be used to help
illustrate both objective i and objective vii. ask students to collect 2-3 scholarly articles
related to nclb and summarize their findings in 3 main points. during the next class
period, invite students to break out into groups of 3-4 to discuss their findings. they
should be able to identify whether their findings matched their beliefs about nclb and
how they might use educational research to be informed policy consumers.
discussion questions
the no child left behind act (nclb) of 2001 has been the center of a great deal of
controversy. what have you heard about this piece of legislation? have you developed an
opinion? if so, what is your opinion and how did you develop it? if not, what more do
you think you should know about nclb?
we hear a lot from educators and politicians today about accountability. should teachers’
jobs and salaries depend on how much their students learn? what would happen to
curricula and attention to students’ differences?

focus question 1.2: does teaching matter?
activity
survey of teacher roles
have students rate each of the “seven roles” of teaching according to the degree of importance
and strength in each role (teacher as motivator, manager, instructional expert, counselor, model,
leader, and reflective professional). tabulate and summarize the findings for your sample. have
your students critique the interpretations that might be made of this summary. what could be
misleading? then have your students consider each of the seven roles of teaching in relation to
their own perceptions of their teaching goals and abilities. ask students who scored themselves
high or low why they perceived themselves in such a way.
discussion question
some students seem to perform well regardless of their teachers while some seem to perform
poorly even with excellent teachers. do you think teachers make a difference for all students?
why or why not? how can you be sure you meet the needs of all students, regardless of ability?
