Rallis, Sharon F.; Zajano, Nancy C. – Phi Delta Kappan, 1997

Pliska, Ann-Maureen; McQuaide, Judith – Educational Leadership, 1994
In Pennsylvania, introduction of student learning outcomes became a major battle rather than a reasoned debate, and final language of the proposed regulations was somewhat muted.
