Promising Practices: Progress Toward the Goals, 2000. Lessons from the States

摘要

The Panel has selected one indicator for each of the eight national education goals and asked the questions: Which States have made the most progress in this area; Which States perform at the highest level; Which States show progress across all the goals and indicators and why. Throughout 2000, State policymakers were interviewed in the States that have made top improvement and performance on selected Goals Panel indicators. Promising Practices tells their story. Although officials themselves were sometimes uncertain, they shared what they thought were the reasons for their States systemwide success. This information can help other States dealing with similar issues.
