The Elementary and Secondary Education Act (ESEA) was passed as a part of President Lyndon B. Johnson's "War on Poverty" The act funds primary and secondary education.[1] It helped young kids who grew up in poverty grant equal access to education and it also established high standards and accountability.
- Title I-Provided Financial Assistance To Local Educational Agencies For The Education Of Children Of Low-Income Families
- Title II-School Library Resources, Textbooks, and other Instructional Materials
- Title III-Supplementary Educational Centers and Services
- Title IV-Educational Research And Training
- Title V-Grants To Strengthen State Departments Of Education
- Title VI-General Provisions
- Under the No Child Left Behind Act which is an updated revision of ESEA that has occured throughout the years, In this reauthorization, NCLB required increased accountability from its schools both from the teachers and from the students.[13] Yearly standardized tests were mandated in order to measure how schools were performing against the achievement bars set by Title I.[13] Schools were also responsible for publishing annual report cards that detailed their student achievement data and demographics.[13] Schools were now held accountable not only by punitive measures that would be taken if schools fail to meet Adequate Yearly Progress (AYP), but also corrective actions were taken if states did not have an assessment system approved by Title I.[13] Under NCLB, Schools are also required to plan for “restructuring” if they fail to make AYP for three years after being identified for improvement.[13] More schools took corrective action under NCLB than under IASA.[13] NCLB also required teachers to be highly qualified if hired using Title I funding.[13]
