There has been lots of chatter about NCLB in recent weeks... waivers... accountability... my school is getting ready for "knee-cap" testing, and last year we got our first check, so we are particularly interested.
I continue to be puzzled by educators' and educational researchers' silence on this matter. We are spending billions of dollars and subjecting learners to dubious experiences in the name of "accountability," but there is little evidence that performance on these tests is actually associated with meaningful performance on authentic and innovative problem solving.
