Stronger Accountability Under the act's accountability provisions, states must describe how they will close the achievement gap and make sure all students, including those who are disadvantaged, achieve academic proficiency. More Local Freedom Under No Child Left Behind, states and school districts have unprecedented flexibility in how they use federal education funds, in exchange for greater accountability for results. Proven Methods No Child Left Behind puts special emphasis on determining what educational programs and practices have been proven effective through rigorous scientific research.  Federal funding is targeted  to support these programs and teaching methods that work to improve student learning and achievement. Choices for Parents The No Child Left Behind Act provides new education options for many families in chronically under-performing schools (e.g., supplemental education services or school choice transfers at designated locations).
