Teacher Unions and No Child Left Behind Reconstitution: The Calm before the Storm
McNeal, Laura
Journal of School Leadership, v22 n6 p1109-1129 Nov 2012
This article examines the intersection of teacher unions, school reform and the No Child Left Behind Act. Specifically, this article highlights the legal challenges that school leaders are likely to experience as they attempt to implement No Child Left Behind Act's reconstitution mandates in failing schools, while not infringing on teachers' legal rights. There is also a discussion of the discriminatory impact of NCLB reconstitution mandates on teachers of color and the legal and policy implications.
