As a special ed teacher in a school that is in the first year of the school improvement process in NCLB in Oklahoma , I have a front row seat on this law. Yes, it has high accountability but there is so much money available for the schools that need it. Oklahoma is one of the few states that have developed standards for the schools of what students should know. That is hard to believe that not all states have those. We have a facilitator that helps us focus our curriculum on the specific needs of our students. It is not about teaching to the test. It is about teaching to the students needs. They may be different every year and we can't teach the same way every year.
