This article presents an interview with J. Michael Ortiz, a member of the Aspen Institute's Commission on No Child Left Behind, on the issues concerning the No Child Left Behind Act (NCLB). Aspen Institute's Commission is an independent panel that was established in 2006 to conduct a high-level review of the federal government's signature education law, which is currently up for reauthorization in Congress. In this interview, Ortiz shares what has been, in his opinion, the greatest success and the greatest failure of NCLB. In addition, Ortiz describes how the Aspen Commission conducts its work and the kind of input he has received at commission hearings.
