NCLB was originally proposed by the administration of [|George W. Bush] immediately after he took office. The bill, shepherded through the Senate by co-author [|Senator Ted Kennedy], received overwhelming bipartisan support in Congress. NCLB supports [|standards-based education reform], which is based on the belief that setting high standards and establishing measurable goals can improve individual outcomes in education. The Act requires states to develop assessments in basic skills to be given to all students in certain grades, if those states are to receive federal funding for schools. The Act does not assert a national achievement standard; standards are set by each individual state.
