Accountability Is More than a Test Score
Turnipseed, Stephan; Darling-Hammond, Linda
Education Policy Analysis Archives, v23 n11 Feb 2015
The number one quality business leaders look for in employees is creativity and yet the U.S. education system undermines the development of the higher-order skills that promote creativity by its dogged focus on multiple-choice tests. Stephan Turnipseed and Linda DarlingHammond discuss the kind of rich accountability system that will help students develop into the skilled adults that modern business and industry require.
