Holding NCLB Accountable
Achieving Accountability, Equity, & School Reform
A provocative examination of NCLB and how it can be improved.
This edited volume considers the pending reauthorization of NCLB and evaluates the efficacy of test-based accountability. With contributions from Gary Orfield, Linda Darling-Hammond, Catherine Snow, Robert Linn, and Daniel Koretz, among others, this resource examines the themes of capacity, accountability, school reform, and educational equity, and asks critical questions such as:
- How do we develop assessments and accountability systems that assist rather than interfere with educational progress?
- How do we promote change without being counterproductive?
- How do we create a viable educational agenda that is mindful of state and local capacity?
