Sommario/riassunto |
|
In America's ""Failing"" Schools, W. James Popham provides parents and teachers explanations of No Child Left Behind as a whole, walking them through the implications for standardized testing in particular, in language that is uncomplicated and straightforward. Popham offers definitions of the law and its key terms, explanations of what it really means when a school is labeled ""failing,"" and concrete suggestions for what can be done in response. |
