Symposium 2000
Tuesday, 12:25 Session - C2
Sheraton, Ponchartrain B
American education faces the millennium with what has come to be a tacit national agreement that student performance and educational quality may be improved through the development and imposition of standards and assessments. Most of the states and school districts in the United States have developed standards for student performance and assessment systems in an effort to guide educational reform and gauge success in improving performance. The NATD/NCME Symposium 2000 brings together some of the best and most experienced thinkers on the use of standards and assessments to answer the question "How is it working?"
Is the emphasis on standards and assessment to improve instruction having the desired effect on American Education?
