DeAngelis, Corey A. – Educational Review, 2021
Students' abilities are multidimensional; teachers and schools shape students' cognitive skills, most often captured by test scores, but they also shape students' non-cognitive skills such as character, tolerance, effort, and conscientiousness. This study reviews the evidence indicating disconnects between test scores and non-cognitive skills from…

This is concerning since this choice--made…

We have three main findings. First, we find that…

The Academic Performance Index (API) is the centerpiece of California's state assessment and accountability system.
