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…
