In October 2002, the Office of Elementary and Secondary Education hosted a series of four regional meetings as part of its work to ensure the effective implementation of the No Child Left Behind (NCLB) Act.

The goals of the Student Achievement and School Accountability conference were to:

• Provide states and districts with the expert information and tools necessary to implement NCLB successfully.
• Allow state and district-level team participants to work together to develop an understanding of effective ways to implement NCLB.
• Create a common base of knowledge about evidence-based interventions, new requirements of NCLB, and proven improvement strategies that can be applied in any Title I school.
• Engage states and large school districts as partners in a national movement to improve academic achievement for all students.
