Looking Behind the "Average": How Are States Reporting Test Results

Authors:
Leigh Burstein
This report addresses these questions: (1) How can the use of commercial norm-referenced tests as measures of student achievement in high-stakes testing contexts be changed to lead to more accurate public reporting of results? (2) Regardless of how these tests or their use are changed, what are reasonable standards for “fully” reporting test results to “inform” educational improvement?
