Students should have opportunities to work in teams and engage in project-based learning. And student and family well-being should be front and center. "
7 " 'No Child Left Behind' requires states and school districts to ensure that all students are learning and are reaching their highest potential. Special education students should not be left out of these accountability mechanisms. "
