The Authentic Standards Movement and Its Evil Twin.
Thompson, Scott
Phi Delta Kappan, v82 n5 p358-62 Jan 2001
Public education could be significantly improved if proponents of standards-based reform could join with critics of high-stakes testing (the "evil twin") and outlaw using such tests as sole indicators of student success. Authentic, standards-based reform is concerned with equity and quality, demands teacher collaboration, and addresses demands for public accountability. (Contains 18 references.) (MLH)
