A few major areas I hope will receive attention during reauthorization are college / workplace readiness, including the promotion of more rigorous standards; greater accountability at the secondary level; more sophisticated policy and greater accountability for improving teacher effectiveness, particularly at the late
elementary and secondary levels; a broadening of attention to math and science as well as to history; and refinements in AYP to focus greater attention and improvement on the
persistently failing schools by offering real choices to parents of students stuck in such
schools.
