[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]When I was in MD public schools, we used to take nationally norms tests like the CAT and the ITBS. It was clear where we tested against the rest of the US. Why are the SATs/ACTs the first national tests our students take? They are a year away from graduation. It’s too late by then to see how far behind they are than the rest of the country. I guess states don’t want anyone to see data that shows their shortcomings. [/quote] NCLB put it on states to improve schools and develop their own standardized tests. I took the CAT but also the MSPAP, and that was 30 years ago, so it didn't even start there. It's really more of an issue with the federal government than states wanting to hide their poor performing results. [/quote]
