| Abstract | American education is failing many students, but especially students of color, from low-income families, with disabilities or those who have limited English proficiency. These students are the focus of "No Child Left Behind" (NCLB), the 2001 revision of the Elementary and Secondary Education Act of 1965 (ESEA), which was signed into law on January 8, 2002. As much as educators complain about NCLB, it is difficult to argue against its purpose that all students will succeed regardless of race, ethnicity, family income, dominant language, or disability. Despite over 40 years of legislative efforts to resolve the conditions that place students at-risk for low achievement and school failure, America continues to face a growing crisis in education. Media specialists are in a strong position to strengthen at-risk students through mentoring, making connections with them and helping them connect to others in the school, and supporting their learning in creative and motivating ways. This article describes the tipping points--the small changes--that can transform low-achieving students into high-achieving ones for media specialists: (1) connection; (2) competence; and (3) contribution.
