The Critical Issue of Excellence and Equity in Competency Testing.
Smith, G. Pritchy
Journal of Teacher Education, v35 n2 p6-9 Mar-Apr 1984
A positive effect of the competency testing movement is that it will reveal the nation's greatest educational failure--understanding minority achievement and developing successful instructional delivery systems for minority youth. Collaborative leadership from teachers, professional educators, and the public must challenge the development of new ways to perpetuate old inequities. (CJB)
