Benchmarks 2000
Student Achievement in SREB States
By Joseph D. Creech
|
 |
| While SREB states are meeting or exceeding national averages on some
measures of student achievement, there still is much to do. This report,
the fifth in the Educational Benchmarks 2000 Series, examines the progress
that SREB states have made. It also looks at the major challenges that
remain: defining what students should know and setting standards for how
well they need to read, write, compute and solve problems; measuring
student achievement as part of a state accountability system; and finding
effective ways to help all students meet high expectations |
