Yes, we should hold public schools accountable for effectively spending the vast funds with which they have been entrusted. But accountability policies like No Child Left Behind, based exclusively on math and reading test scores, have narrowed the curriculum, misidentified both failing and successful schools, and established irresponsible expectations for what schools can accomplish.
Instead of just grading progress in one or two narrow subjects, we should hold schools accountable for the broad outcomes we expect from public education --basic knowledge and skills, critical thinking, an appreciation of the arts, physical and emotional health, and preparation for skilled employment --and then develop the means to measure and ensure schools' success in achieving them. Grading Education describes a new kind of accountability plan for public education, one that relies on higher-quality testing, focuses on professional evaluation, and builds on capacities we already possess. This important resource:
- Describes the design of an alternative accountability system that would not corrupt education as does NCLB and its state testing systems
- Explains the original design of NAEP in the 1960s, and shows why it should be revived.
- Defines the broad goals of education, beyond math and reading test scores, and reports on surveys to confirm public and governmental support for such goals.
- Relates these broad goals of education to the desire for accountability in education.
