Description
The public schools of America are in the throes of a reform movement that has established accountability for educational outcomes as the driving force behind school improvement. High Stakes Testing and School Reform explores the effectiveness of standardized testing and accountability as the primary methods for improving America's public schools. The results of this study suggest that high stakes testing is overemphasized as a school reform policy.
