Did My Holistic Teaching Help Students' Standardized Test Scores?
Bussert-Webb, Kathy
Journal of Adolescent & Adult Literacy, v43 n6 p572-73 Mar 2000
Follows up the author's April 1999 article in this same journal, which described how her teaching improved when she decided not to focus on the minimal competency test for Texas. Quantifies ways her students became better readers and reports on the high pass rate of those very students on the reading section of the Texas Assessment of Academic Skills. (SR)
