This report offers detailed recommendations to improve the No Child Left Behind Act (NCLB), the current version of the Elementary and Secondary Education Act (ESEA). It is a call to action to provide educators with the tools and resources they need to do the important job of preparing our students to live productive and successful lives. The Executive Summary highlights the recommendations contained in the full report. The full report, starting on page 8, provides the rationale and additional background for each recommendation. Part One, entitled "Great Public Schools Criteria," presents the National Education Association's (NEA) vision for what great public schools need. These criteria form a basis for NEA's priorities in offering Congress a framework for the 2007 reauthorization of the Elementary and Secondary Education Act. Part Two, "NEA's Priorities for ESEA Reauthorization," focuses on a broad range of policies, as articulated in this report, to ensure that every child has access to a great public school. An appendix describes the "Elementary and Secondary Education Act of 1965" and presents in its historical context from the War on Poverty and the Civil Rights Act of 1964 (Title IV covers education) to the No Child Left Behind Act of 2001.
