NCLB set forth a certain criteria to be met, but allowed the states to determine how they would accomplish it. Therefore, each state handles assessment and accountability differently. This makes it hard to show success or failure of the programs. Supporters and critics alike can cite research that supports their opinion. My opinion of NCLB is it is flawed, developmentally inappropriate, ill funded, ←and→ leaving more students, teachers, ←and→ schools behind than ever before because The tests have turned into the objective of classroom instruction rather than the measure of teaching ←and→ learning.

Labour government has also tried to promote greater choice and diversity by trying to become a post-comprehensive educational era. To do this the new labour introduced a policy to encourage schools to become specialist skills schools. By 2007 85% of all secondary schools had become specialist skill schools, so that children could go to a secondary school based on the specialist skill they required, they had a greater choice about what they wanted to learn. New labour also tried to promote greater choice and diversity by using ideas put forward by postmodernists. Such as Kenneth thompson, who believes education has changed to become more pro-choice and has broken free from the ‘oppressive uniformity’ of the ‘one size fits all’ ideology that government of the time had schools in.
UNIT 012 Principles of assessment in lifelong learning Main methods of assessments in life long learning are: academic (knowledge) and vocational (performance). Dependent on the subject, the assessment method may need to be adapted, using and adapting both these type assessments will ensure that the students acquire optimum achievement during my lesson. To decide which of these is most appropriate, the assessment cycle will be used: • Initial assessment - used to identify if my students already know something about the subject to be assessed and the needs of my students (for example more support). • Assessment planning - used to plan the suitable types and method of assessment following relevant organisational guidelines. • Assessment activity - to determine this, the method could be assessorled like completing questioning or student-led like gathering evidence of competence.

Another role is to evaluate the tutor's own teaching and revise learning plans if necessary. In terms of boundaries, the tutor should receive an introduction at the place of work and with that some outlines within the organisation's expectations in regards to role and responsibilities of a tutor as well as a feel of the organisation's ethos. It is however important to know how far to take the role of tutor and when is appropriate to refer a student to a different professional or bodies like the learning support team for diversity or disabilities issues. A tutor must remember to act within the syllabus and in relation with what he or she is teaching and not beyond the course, maintaining either professional as well as personal boundaries and always keeping in mind confidentiality, following the requirement expected within the

It is at this point that a child is usually referred to the Special Education department and an Individual Education Program is developed for the child. (Bradley et al, 2010) The interventions needed for this level vary greatly and as the general education teacher, you will receive guidance from the special education staff if you have a child on this level. Some of the typical interventions used at Tier Three level are: direct teaching of prosocial skills; changing antecedent conditions to pre-empt behavior issues; and change of placement to decrease stimulation levels. (Fairbanks et al, 2007) Our Special Education staff here at Utopia School will provide you with any necessary training, documentation sheets, and assistance to implement the interventions that are decided upon. The goal is for the student to remain in the least restrictive environment while
