Differentiated Accountability Pilot Program: Florida’s Proposal

May 2, 2008 As part of the United States' No Child Left Behind (NCLB) Legislation, six states were chosen to join the Differentiated Accountability Pilot Program, a program designed for states to bring all schools up to NCLB standards by 2014. Florida was one of those states. The program began July 1, 2008, as all states were required to begin their program immediately after being chosen. Florida's plan includes different standards to be reached by children without disabilities in grades 3-8 than children with significant cognitive disabilities in the same grade levels . . .
