National Standards and School Improvement in the 1990s: Issues and Promise.

Porter, Andrew C.

American Journal of Education, v102 n4 p421-49 Aug 1994

Empirical evidence concerning the promise of setting national standards for school improvement is assembled. From this evidence, it is predicted that standards will not lead to the standardization of educational practice, stifled creativity, or minority-student endangerment. Benefits, which are less easily predicted, will depend on the quality of implementation. (SLD)
