Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

No Child Left Behind has put pressure on teachers to focus on standardized testing and meeting benchmarks, which can make it more difficult to provide developmentally responsive teaching in early childhood classrooms. While NCLB has identified areas where education is unresponsive, it has not necessarily increased the quality of early childhood education. Authentic assessment may be used more, but it is not a direct result of NCLB pressures.
