Standards, Not Standardization: Evoking Quality Student Work.
Wiggins, Grant
Educational Leadership, v48 n5 p18-25 Feb 1991
The only way to improve schools is to ensure that faculties judge local work using authentic standards and measures. Concrete benchmarks are needed that obviate both eccentric teacher grading and simplistic standardized testing. A school has standards when it adopts high, consistent expectations of all learners in all courses. Includes 11 references. (MLH)
