What is “No Child Left Behind” (NCLB) and how does it affect students?
The “No Child Left Behind” federal legislation requires that classroom teachers be certified as “subject matter competent”. The competency may ONLY be certified by passage of an approved examination-currently, CSET:MS. Students pursuing ITEP-Junior Option must pass the CSET prior to student teaching. Students planning to pursue a Credential after graduation must pass the CSET for admission to a post-baccalaureate Credential Program.
