The federal “No Child Left Behind” act places substantial new requirements on K-12 educators, schools, and districts to track and report numerous educational performance metrics, manage curricula, and demonstrate annual improvement in student achievement.  In Oklahoma, for example, 10 school districts are using a solution that enables them to meet these legislative demands: Intel's Managed Learning System, powered by the Microsoft Accountability and Assessment.
