Definition

  • Public concern over the state of affairs in public schools and the demographic placement of most immigrant children in urban centers has given rise to numerous reforms spurred in part by the 1983 report, A Nation at Risk. Reform movements, including the Goals 2000: Educate America Act (1994) and the Improving America Schools Act (1994), were enacted to provide federal funds to the states for the development of educational programs with high standards.
