    Journal Article

    The Obama administration is offering states a deal: Waiving their obligations under some of NCLB's more onerous (and impractical) demands in return for continuing to measure student achievement frequently, but with higher standards. They must continue to report the performance of different groups of students, eventually measuring schools on how much their students progress in a year rather than how many of them hit a state standard. And they must fix their worst schools while establishing meaningful awards for high-achievers. In effect, the administration has sought to preserve NCLB's core strengths while making it more workable. PUBLICATION ABSTRACT
