| Annotation: | Key findings from this report include:
Most superintendents considered three improvement strategies most important: using data for decisionmaking, aligning curriculum with state standards, and focusing
on low-performing students. Teachers changed their instruction in both desirable and undesirable ways. Most educators felt challenged by insufficient alignment among state standards, curriculum, and tests, and researchers recommend improving alignment among standards, tests, and curriculum; providing educators with professional
development assistance; and exploring ways to measure performance more accurately. |
