(2) Following the enactment of the No Child 
Left Behind Act of 2001, Federal education policy 
has placed an increased emphasis on testing assess-
ments, requiring students to undergo standardized 
testing every year in grades 3–8. 
(3) Reducing the frequency of federally required 
testing would allow more time for classroom instruc-
tion, decrease the burden on educational resources 
associated with testing, and move our public edu-
cation system away from the practice of ‘‘teaching to 
the test’’. 
(4) The yearly testing currently required by 
Federal law should be replaced with grade span test-
ing.
