In a previous post, we wondered what will become of No Child Left Behind. Would it be completely overhauled, would it be left alone, with waivers to help escape penalties, or would it just be tweaked and essentially be more of the same?
Leaders of the Senate Health, Education, Labor and Pensions Committee are beginning to weigh in. Yesterday, we talked about the the proposals of Senator Lamar Alexander and what the NEA thought of them. Tuesday looks to be the day that we hear from the committee Chair, Senator Tom Harkin.
Monty Neil writes in today's Washington Post about what he thinks should and should not be included in a revamped NCLB. Specifically, he calls for less standardized testing, not linking test scores to teacher and principal evaluations and leaving matters of accountability and improvement to local decision making processes.

Update: Education Week has some of the "fluid details" of the upcoming proposal here.
