In "Beyond Test Scores: Leading Indicators for Education," Foley and colleagues (2008) define leading indicators as those that "provide early signals of progress toward academic achievement" (p. 1) and stress that educators "need leading indicators to help them see the direction their efforts are going in and to take…

Erickson, Varick; Ho, Andrew; Holtzman, Deborah; Jaciw, Andrew; Lukoff, Brian; Shen, Xuejun; Wei, Xin; Haertel, Edward – National Center for Research on Evaluation, Standards, and Student Testing (CRESST), 2007
When a state test and National Assessment of Educational Progress (NAEP) are both measuring the same construct, the achievement gaps between subgroups on both tests should be the same. However, if a teacher or school engages in "teaching to the test" then student performance may improve on one test but not on another. We hypothesized that…

Pearson, P. David; Dunning, David – Illinois Reading Council Journal, 1985
Schemes for assessing reading achievement with specific tests have been in use since early in this century. The two driving forces behind the testing movement--scientific objectivity and compulsory education--blossomed in the 1920s and 1930s and continued substantially unchanged through most of the 1960s.
