Title:The 2008 Brown Center report on American education: How well are American students learning
Source:http://www.brookings.edu/~/media/Files/rc/repor...
Date:2009
Organization:Brookings Institution
Short Description:The watchword of this year’s Brown Center Report is caution—caution in linking state tests to international assessments—“benchmarking” is the term—caution in proceeding with a policy of “algebra for all eighth graders,” caution in gleaning policy lessons from the recent progress made by urban schools.
Annotation:The watchword of this year’s Brown Center Report is caution—caution in linking state tests to international assessments—“benchmarking” is the term—caution in proceeding with a policy of “algebra for all eighth graders,” caution in gleaning policy lessons from the recent progress made by urban schools. State and local budget woes will restrain policymakers from adopting costly education reforms, but even so, the three studies contained herein are a reminder that restraint must be exercised in matters other than budgets in governing education well. All too often, policy decisions are based on wishful thinking rather than cautious analysis. As education evolves as a discipline, the careful analysis of high-quality data will provide the foundation for meaningful education reform.
