In the US, intense political attention has been focused on accountability, on standardised testing and on the equity effects of both accountability and testing. The great majority of recent debate about educational equity and accountability in US education policy circles has failed to attend to either the dynamism or complexity of these issues, and has, instead, been carried out in a dualistic, good versus evil, fashion.

After decades of such 'inputs' as how many books are in the school library and the number of computers in the classroom, American education is shining a spotlight on results.First Published in 2004. Routledge is an imprint of Taylor & Francis, an informa company.
Linda Skrla is an associate professor in the Educational Administration and Human Resource Development Department at Texas A&M University. James Scheurich is associate professor at the University of Texas-Austin. He is also coordinator of educational programs.
