Student Learning Expectations and I Can
The Student Learning Expectations provide a structural foundation that identifies and aligns the essential learning for all PK – Grade Five students in the Cedar Rapids
Community School District. The student learning expectations provide direction for
instruction, clear learning targets for students and parents, and methods to monitor
student progress.

No Child Left Behind
The federal No Child Left Behind (NCLB) Act requires schools to assess students annually and to meet student achievement goals. If a school does not meet those assessment and achievement goals (termed “adequate yearly progress” or AYP) for two consecutive years, then the school is placed on a federal “Schools in Need of Assistance (SINA)” list. Schools or districts are cited if they a) don’t meet 95% participation rate for assessments, b) don’t meet student achievement goals, or c) don’t meet attendance rate for elementary and middle schools or graduation rate for high school. Districts that have schools that do not meet AYP for two consecutive years at the elementary, middle and high school level are placed on a “Districts in Need of Assistance (DINA)” list.
