National Standards ... Momentum is Growing

AuthorJustin Bathon on DateMonday, February 16, 2009 at 9:21PM

When CCSSO started making rumblings last year about national academic standards, I think everyone was surprised, but I am not sure anyone thought it had a realistic chance of getting into this round of reauthorization. Well, apparently no one told Arne Duncan, who apparently is a pretty big fan of national standards. He stopped short of saying it needs to be in the reauthorization, but it is clearly a shot across the bow. With reauthorization probably at least a year away, there is plenty of time to stoke that fire and push this issue. It is still a long shot, but don't be surprised if it is a substantial part of the debate.

    Response: NCLB 2.0?
    by Richard Day at Kentucky School News and Commentary on February 18, 2009
    ...Actually, NCLB would have been a much smarter bill if it had provided national standards, a national assessment, and accountability that took growth into consideration - but turned states loose to innovate and meet those standards the best way they knew how.
