NCLB Consolidated Application
The overarching goal of NCLB is for every child to meet state
academic achievement standards. Title I, Part A provides the
programs and resources for disadvantaged students to meet
this goal. NCLB also requires states and LEAs to close the
achievement gap, to place a highly qualified teacher in every
classroom, and to improve the qualifications of paraprofessionals
who work with disadvantaged students. The Title II, Part A,
Teacher Quality grant provides the resources for hiring, retaining,
and recruiting highly qualified teachers and for training
teachers and paraprofessionals. The Title II, Part D, Enhancing
Education Through Technology grant improves student academic
achievement through the use of technology in schools and encourages
the effective integration of technology with teacher training
and curriculum development. The NCLB Title IV Safe and Drug-Free
Schools grant removes obstacles to student achievement by
providing a safe and drug-free environment, and the Title
V grant provides a flexible source of funding to help LEAs
achieve NCLB goals. Throughout NCLB, the use of solid research
to improve teaching is required and promoted, and parents
are provided with information and options to improve the education
of their children.
