[quote=Anonymous] and more from Forbes: Of course, i[b]t’s hard to get a valid measure of whether the Common Core is helping kids “catch up,”[/b] if it uses its own tests as a measure. Kornhaber says that new standards typically lead to a drop in test scores and then an uptick as schools figure out how to teach to them. [b]“The usual course of standards-based reform testing shows what the psychometrician Robert Linn called ‘a saw tooth pattern’: every time a new test comes in, student achievement drops. As teachers and students get familiar with the new standards and tests, scores go up. [/b]However, this doesn’t necessarily mean students’ understanding or skills increase—[b]tests of the same content but external to the actual reform commonly show students’ knowledge and skills haven’t grown nearly as much as the reform’s ‘official’ test.
