No Child Left Behind: Tools and Information Parents Can Use - Tuesday, September 17, 2002
Time: 8:00 PM - 9:00 PM ET
The inaugural broadcast of Education News Parents Can Use, entitled, “No Child Left Behind: Tools and Information Parents Can Use,” will explore what the No Child Left Behind Act means to families. The 2002-2003 school year ushers in the full implementation of many of the new law’s testing, accountability, and choice provisions. Through interviews and discussions, with Department officials, educators and parents across the country, this month’s broadcast will help parents find resources, information, and answers to questions they may have about the law’s Reading First program, testing requirements, and the many options available to parents whose children are attending schools in need of improvement.
The September broadcast of Education News Parents Can Use will explore such questions as…
- How can I prepare my child to be a strong reader?
- What are the essential components of a quality reading program? What should I look for in my child’s classroom?
- What questions should I ask my child’s teacher or principal?
- What types of testing will be required under the law and how they help my child achieve?
- If my child’s school is under-performing, what options are available to ensure my child receives a first class-education?
- What are supplemental services and how can I attain such services to ensure my child succeeds?
