Can the Testing Industry Meet Growing Demand?

摘要

The passage of the No Child Left Behind (NCLB) Act significantly increased the prominence of standardized testing in the nation's K-12 schools. Every state will have to test every student repeatedly in reading, mathematics, and science, and student scores will be a critical measure of how well the schools are fulfilling their mission. For the Bush administration, testing is the key to accountability, and analysis of the results will be a powerful influence on future curriculum and classroom practice.
