Does Top-Down, Standards-Based Reform Work? A Review of the Status of Statewide Standards-Based Reform.

Berger, Jeff

NASSP Bulletin, v84 n612 p57-65 Jan 2000

The current state-dominated standards movement originated in the 1983 "Nation at Risk" report. Five different types of standards are usually considered when developing a standards-based school reform system: district, content, student performance, school delivery, and system delivery. Arguments for standards outweigh those against. (Contains 24 references.) (MLH)
