DFER Report on Accountability Systems

Complete PDF Report via Democrats for Education Reform:

I think it is very difficult for a person who lives in a community to know whether, in fact, his educational system is what it should be, whether if you compare his community to a neighboring community they are doing everything they should be, whether the people that are operating the educational system in a state or local community are as good as they should be.
... I wonder if we couldn't have some kind of system of reporting ... through some testing system that would be established [by] which the people at the local community would know periodically ... what progress had been made."

Senator Robert Kennedy,
U.S. Senate hearing, 1965
