Cronin, John; Dahlin, Michael; Adkins, Deborah; Kingsbury, G. Gage – Thomas B. Fordham Institute, 2007
At the heart of the No Child Left Behind Act (NCLB) is the call for all students to be "proficient" in reading and mathematics by 2014. Yet the law expects each state to define proficiency as it sees fit and design its own tests. This study investigated three research questions related to this policy: (1) How consistent are various…
