High Standards + High Stakes = High Achievement in Massachusetts
Reville, S. Paul
Phi Delta Kappan, v85 n8 p591 Apr 2004
This article reports that Massachusetts has made great strides in education over the past decade. The author attributes the success in large part to the very factors that have drawn the most criticism: the high standards and high stakes attached to the state assessments. Sections include: (1) The Massachusetts Case; (2) Implementation; and (3) The Case for High Stakes. (Contains 16 endnotes.)
