What does the No Child Left Behind Act stipulate regarding ELL students' assessment?

They cannot be tested at all
They may be tested only in their native language
They may only be tested in English
They must be tested in both languages

The correct answer is: They may only be tested in English

The No Child Left Behind Act (NCLB) emphasizes the importance of accountability in education, which includes the assessment of all students, regardless of their language proficiency. It specifically requires that English Language Learners (ELLs) be assessed in a manner that reflects their academic knowledge while also considering their English language skills. This act mandates that states administer assessments primarily in English to ensure that all students, including ELLs, are meeting educational standards. The assessment in English provides a uniform measure of student performance, allowing for the evaluation of how ELLs are progressing in mastering not only the language but also the content knowledge required at their grade level. While it is acknowledged that testing ELLs can present challenges due to language barriers, the NCLB's focus is on ensuring that all students are held to the same academic standards with bilingual support when necessary. However, the primary requirement is for these assessments to be conducted in English, which aligns with the correct choice.
