The Pitfalls of Reform

Its Incompatibility with Actual Improvement

• Gebundenes Buch

Produktbeschreibung

The systems that make up the accountability package in education: standards, assessments, and the quality determination for a school. In education the misalignment between what the systems were designed to do and the intent of those who selected them is masked in the sheer complexity of the educational exercise. What this book does so marvelously is unravel that complexity and present the contradictions in a clear, coherent manner.
