Descripción
Sumario:In the current climate of national high-stakes testing, McDonnell ventures back to the 1990s and state reforms which modeled the effort in some areas, specifically California, Kentucky, and North Carolina. When educational reformers introduced tests as a way to measure effectiveness, testing politics changed the educational climate. But reformers soon witnessed a backlash from parents and community leaders, and the reforms were altered as a result. McDonnell parallels these state-wide experiences with the response to the federal initiative of No Child Left Behind.
