| Annotation: | This paper brings to bear new evidence from a remarkable five-year survey conducted of a census of public schools in Florida, coupled with detailed administrative data on student performance. It shows that schools facing accountability pressure changed their instructional practices in meaningful ways. In addition, it presents medium-run evidence of the effects of school accountability on student test scores, and finds that a significant portion of these test score gains can likely be attributed to the changes in school policies and practices that were uncovered in the surveys. |
