Improving Student Achievement

"In Improving Student Achievement: What State NAEP Test Scores Tell Us, the authors examine the evidence from student scores on the National Assessment of Educational Progress (NAEP) tests given in math and reading from 1990 through 1996, to determine what uses of resources and state policies, on balance, improve student achievement." "This book uses measures that compare state performance: raw achievement scores, estimates for score differences for students with similar family characteristics, and estimated improvement trends, as well as variations in per-pupil expenditures and other resource allocations. What factors have the greatest effect on student achievement and at what cost? What state efforts can really make a difference?" "Improving Student Achievement: What State NAEP Test Scores Tell Us looks beyond the rhetoric and controversy surrounding public education in America to provide a thorough, unbiased examination of the effects of resources and reform efforts, with clear recommendations for improving American education."--Jacket.
