How does the SMT Center support the national No Child Left Behind (NCLB) legislation?
A. The SMT Center will draw attention to NCLB because federal legislation is focused on science, mathematics, and technology education. The Center will support research activities and the development of assessment tools as we prepare for NCLB. For the first time in years, our state will test science in grades five and eight and will continue to test biology in order to meet the demands imposed by the new statutes. We will provide the support needed to help North Carolina make yearly progress on SMT assessments.
