The passage of the No Child Left Behind Act marks the most significant shift in federal education policy in 3 5 years. It calls for a revolutionary change in the culture and values of the American educational system and a transformation in the U.S. Department of Education's (DE) accountability practices. In the coming years, the DE will lead a national campaign to change the culture of the nation's education system. To accomplish this reform, the DE set six goals: (1) create a culture of achievement; (2) improve student achievement; (3) develop safe schools and strong character; (4) transform education into an evidence-based field; (5) enhance the quality of and access to postsecondary and adult education; and (6) establish management excellence. In this report, each goal is broken down into a series of objectives that lead to concrete results. Easy-to-read charts supplement the text. The ultimate objective of this act is to improve student achievement so that individuals may contribute to our democracy, economy, and communities, and live their own American dreams.

Five years after the bipartisan passage of the "No Child Left Behind Act of 2001," the U.S. Department of Education remains dedicated to promoting education excellence in every corner of the country. The Department's "Strategic Plan for Fiscal Years 2007-12" sets high expectations for America's schools and students, and for itself. It is committed to giving students the skills they need to succeed in a highly competitive global economy. To this end, the Department has set out three important goals in this plan that address the following three priorities: (1) Increase student achievement, reward qualified teachers, and renew troubled schools so that every student can read and do math at grade level by 2014, as called for by the No Child Left Behind Act; (2) Encourage more rigorous and advanced coursework to improve the academic performance of our middle and high school students; and (3) Work with colleges and universities to improve access, affordability, and accountability, so that America's higher education system remains the world's finest. High expectations for management of the Department are being set by creating a cross-cutting goal focused on excellent management practices, fiscal integrity, and a culture of high performance. NCLB provides a strong foundation on which to build these positive results. Data show that the law is working to improve student achievement and close the nation's achievement gap. This report describes the following Department's goals: (1) Improve student achievement, with a focus on bringing all students to grade level in reading and mathematics by 2014; (2) Increase the academic achievement of all high school students; and (3) Ensure the accessibility, affordability, and accountability of higher education, and better prepare students and adults for employment and future learning. It also describes the cross-goal strategy on management. Although this strategic plan covers fiscal year (FY) 2007, the U.S. Department of Education's annual performance plan and annual performance and accountability report for FY 2007 will use the key measures for that year that are related to the goals of the expiring Department strategic plan FY 2002-07. The key measures included in this document will be effective for the Department beginning with FY 2008. (Contains 15 tables.).
This document contains the second year of the U.S. Department of Education's 2002-07 Strategic Plan.

Also included are details on interim adjustments to the 2002-07 Strategic Plan; a glossary of abbreviations and acronyms; a brief bibliography; and the following appendices: "Budget-to-Objective Crosswalk"; "Action Step Crosswalk: 2003- 2004"; "Information Quality Guidelines"; and "Overview of New Directions for Program Evaluation.."
Agenda for a Sustainable America is a comprehensive assessment of U.S. progress toward sustainable development and a roadmap of necessary next steps toward achieving a sustainable America. Packed with facts, figures, and the well-informed opinions of forty-one experts, it provides an illuminating "snapshot" of sustainability in the United States today. And each of the contributors suggests where we need to go next, recommending three to five specific actions that we should take during the next five to ten years. It thus offers a comprehensive agenda that citizens, corporations, nongovernmental organizations, and government leaders and policymakers can use to make decisions today and to plan for the future.
When Research Matters considers the complex and crucially important relationship between education research and policy. In examining how and under what conditions research affects education policy, the book focuses on a number of critical issues: the history of the federal role in education policy; the evolving nature of educational policy research; the role of research in debates about reading, NCLB, and “out-of-field” teaching; how research affects policy by shaping public opinion, judicial rulings, and the decisions of district and school leaders; and the incentives that help explain the behavior of researchers and policymakers.
