Monitoring School Performance for "Standards-based Reform."
Willms, J. Douglas
Evaluation and Research in Education, v14 n3&4 p237-53 2000
Explores whether standards-based reform can drive school improvement using data from two Canadian monitoring systems to illustrate the main points. Outlines some of the dilemmas associated with monitoring and offers suggestions about how to tighten the link between monitoring and learning. Whether performance based assessment increases student learning is still an open question. (SLD)
