Description
"Standard-based accountability" has become a consistent buzzword emanating from the mouths of hopeful politicians-liberal and conservative-for almost twenty years. But does accountability work? The NewAccountability explores the current wave of assessment-based school accountability reforms, which combine two traditions in American education-public accountability and student testing.
