Abstract	A review and assessment of states' reform actions, measurement techniques, and the relevance of the reforms for New York State are addressed in this collection of papers from a working seminar on the purpose of schooling and the means of producing higher levels of achievement. The first paper, "Education Reform in the State: A Comparative View and Identification of the Issues," by Frances Kemmerer and Alan Wagner, presents an overview of state education reform actions, with a focus on financing. A discussion of proposals that tend to be favored by states concludes that low cost and high visibility actions are not likely to fulfill expectations. An appendix outlines state educational reform initiatives alphabetically by state and a list of references is included. "The Role of Testing in American School Reform," by Edward Kelly, discusses limitations of testing in school reform and offers alternative measurement techniques. Forty-one end notes are appended. "A History of School Reform in New York State: Implications for Today's Policy Makers," by Gail Kelly and Maxine Seller, identifies characteristics of successful reform initiatives, which include clearly defined goals, strong leadership, and adequate financing. A list of 48 end notes concludes the paper. A preface by Robert H. Koff introduces the papers and briefly summarizes the seminar discussion, noting that participants identified conflict between professional autonomy and state mandates as the primary barrier to reform and suggested specific areas in which changes must be made if improvements in New York's schools are to be realized.
