Improving Florida's Test-Based Accountability System: Suggestions from Elementary School Administrators
Jones, Brett D.; Egley, Robert J.
Planning and Changing, v35 n3-4 p169-180 2004
Testing and accountability programs can lead to some positive changes towards student performance. Here, Jones and Egley explore on whether Florida administrators thought that there was anything that could be done to improve the country's testing program in order to reduce or eliminate the types of concerns raised in George's study by conducting a survey among school administrators. They also discuss the administrators' suggestions and provide some implications for improving high-stakes testing program. (Contains 1 table.)
