At The Turning Point: The Young Adolescent Learner
Research suggests that during early adolescence—between ages 10 and 14—students either commit to lifelong learning or lose interest in school altogether. This Turning Points report summarizes what's characteristic of the intellectual, social, and moral development of early adolescents, and offers schools and teachers ideas for responding to teens' interests and anxieties.

Education Week Reports on Challenges in Implementing ESEA
The devil is in the details as states negotiate compliance with the new No Child Left Behind Act. Education Week reports that the preliminary implementation plans submitted by the states to the Department of Education offer signs of significant challenges-including how to classify students into subgroups, especially those with disabilities or limited English; defining two years of failure; and determining whether procedures for gathering data align with the law. Virtually all states are grappling with initial proficiency targets far higher than the current performance of their lowest-performing subgroups, such as students with disabilities.
