KnowledgeBases > Scientifically Based Research Within No Child Left Behind

Scientifically based research is referenced throughout the No Child Left Behind Act over 111 times. The affected sections of the Act include Reading First, Teacher Quality, Teaching limited English proficient students, and all educational practices.

Title I - Part A Improving Basic Programs

  • "School districts identified for improvement must incorporate scientifically based research strategies in their improvement plans. State technical assistance to identified school districts must be based on scientifically based research.

  • If a school district is identified for corrective action and a new curriculum is implemented, the state must provide professional development based on scientifically based research."

Title I - Part B Reading First

  • "Reading First is designed to help states, school districts, and schools to ensure that every child can read at grade level or above by the end of third grade through the implementation of instructional programs and materials, assessments, and professional development grounded in scientifically based reading."

Title II - Part A Teacher and Principal Training

  • "All activities supported with Title II funds must be based on a review of scientifically based research that shows how such interventions are expected to improve student achievement."

Title III Language Instruction for Limited English Proficient and Immigrant Students

  • "Language instruction curricula used to teach limited English proficient children are to be tied to scientifically based research and demonstrated to be effective."
