O Recap from last year…
O Frustrated by what he called a "slow motion
train wreck" for U.S. schools, Education Secretary Arne Duncan said he will give schools relief from federal mandates under the No Child Left Behind law
O 82 percent of U.S. schools would be labeled
failures if No Child Left Behind remained unchanged
O In order to waive certain provisions of NCLB, NJ
had to adopt 4 principles:

All Students (CCSS and PARCC)
O State-Developed Differentiated Recognition,
Accountability, and Support System (priority, focus, and reward)
O Support Effective Instruction and Leadership (new
evaluation system-Marzano)
