Instructional Quality: Collecting Credible Evidence
Popham, W. James
Educational Leadership, v62 n6 p80-81 Mar 2005

The school's educators should collectively determine what kinds of credible evidence, other than No Child Left Behind (NCLB) test scores, could help provide an accurate and honest picture of their school's success.
