Abstract:
|
Given that providing delinquent youth high quality education can serve as a positive turning point in their delinquent to adult crime life course, the 2001 Federal No Child Left Behind Act (NCLB) mandates a series of “scientifically” validated best education practices for juvenile justice students throughout the country to ensure their successful community reintegration following release from juvenile justice institutions. More specifically, NCLB requires states to develop an accountability system that evaluates and monitors juvenile justice schools based on multiple outcome measures. In addition, NCLB mandates highly qualified teachers for juvenile justice schools. Ultimately, each state will be responsible for implementing the NCLB provisions within their respective juvenile justice systems. This paper reports results from a national survey of each state’s juvenile justice education system as related to the mandates and provisions of NCLB, as well as information gathered from a series of meetings with each state’s juvenile justice administrators. The results are then used to develop a typology in relation to particular challenges and impediments the different state groups face in successfully implementing the requirements of NCLB. The paper concludes with an exploration of implementation strategies that various groups of states may consider in their efforts to implement NCLB with integrity. |
