The "Naked Truth" Isn't Very Revealing: A Response to Wade Nelson on School Reform in Minnesota.
Pitton, Debra Eckerman
Phi Delta Kappan, v80 n5 p383-87 Jan 1999
A participant in Minnesota's standards-based reform initiative claims Wade Nelson, in his May 1998 "Kappan" article, is misinformed about teachers' exclusion from this movement. The standards constitute a minimal competence level in reading, math, and writing, were developed cooperatively, and have raised teacher expectations of students. Performance packages are far from "teacher-proof." (15 references) (MLH)
