Which act's Title III required LEP students to be placed in a language instruction education program?

• A. No Child Left Behind Act of 2001 (NCLB)
• B. Elementary and Secondary Education Act (ESEA)
• C. Individuals with Disabilities Education Act (IDEA)
• D. Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA)

Answer: (A)

This item tests how federal policy directs language support for students who are limited in English proficiency. The No Child Left Behind Act of 2001 introduced Title III, which requires districts to place LEP students in a language instruction education program to develop English proficiency and support academic achievement. The other laws focus on different areas—IDEA deals with special education, ADA protects civil rights for people with disabilities, and ESEA provided the broader framework before NCLB and did not by itself mandate the specific language-instruction program required by Title III.
