The New Accountability cover

"Standard-based accountability" has become a consistent buzzword emanating from the mouths of hopeful politicians-liberal and conservative-for almost twenty years. But does accountability work? The NewAccountability explores the current wave of assessment-based school accountability reforms, which combine two traditions in American education-public accountability and student testing.

"'These careful, thorough studies of what actually happens when the standards-and-assessment juggernaut hits the complex American comprehensive high school deserve careful pondering by the policy community. They compellingly suggest that a second, honest look at contemporary reform strategy is needed for the schools serving America's teenagers.' Theodore R. Sizer, Professor Emeritus, Brown University, USA"
