Welcome
The American Federation of Teachers (AFT) has long been a leader in the move-
ment for higher academic standards, greater account-
ability, and enhanced professional development. When the federal No Child Left Behind Act (NCLB) was enacted in 2002, the AFT hoped that the law would advance these goals.
