Item Detours on the Road to Reform: When Standards Take a Back Seat to Testing(Delaware Education Research & Development Center, 2001-07) Banicky, Lisa; Noble, Audrey J.The research that informs this report indicates that, in Delaware, the standards have indeed been overshadowed by accountability and that several “detours on the road to reform” have resulted in a system that is measurement-driven as opposed to standardsbased. By placing our major findings in a context that includes comparisons to the ideals posited by standards-based reform more generally and Delaware’s New Directions initiative more specifically, we illustrate how disconnects between the ideals and current realities manifest themselves in Delaware schools and classrooms.Item Putting the "Student" Back in Student Accountability: A Longitudinal Study of the Impact of the Delaware Student Accountability Plan on Delaware Students(Delaware Education Research & Development Center, 2000-11) Banicky, LisaThe goal of this study is to monitor the impact of Delaware’s Student Accountability Plan on students in Delaware. Students enrolled in 3rd or 6th grade during the 1997-98 school year were selected as cohorts and followed over a three year period (1997-2000). Based on the recommendations of several national educational organizations and existing research, several issues were examined in light of the accountability plan.
