	<TITLE>A TLN Conversation: Exploring No Child Left Behind</TITLE>
	<ABSTRACT>&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: 11pt; font-family: 'Georgia','serif'&quot;&gt;The controversy over the federal No Child Left Behind law was definitely coming to a boil in December 2003 when members of the Teacher Leaders Network met online with six national experts to discuss the law's short- and long-term impact on teaching and learning. The experts were asked to diagnose the law's current state of health and offer a prognosis and a course of treatment. Teachers were asked to describe NCLB's biggest impacts on their professional work thusfar. &amp;quot;What are the positives you see emerging from this unprecedented federal mandate? What are the negatives?&amp;quot; Choose from a full transcription, an abridged version, or highlights.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: 11pt; font-family: 'Georgia','serif'&quot;&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&Acirc;&nbsp;
