| Abstract | The No Child Left Behind Act (NCLBA) requires that states improve academic performance so that all students reach proficiency in reading and mathematics by 2014 and that achievement gaps close among student groups. States set annual proficiency targets using an approach known as a status model, which calculates test scores 1 year at a time. Some states have interest in using growth models that measure changes in test scores over time to determine if schools are meeting proficiency targets. The Chairman of the Committee on Education and the Workforce asked the U.S. Government Accountability Office (GAO) to testify on its recent report on measuring academic growth. Specifically, this testimony discusses: (1) how many states are using growth models and for what purposes; (2) how growth models can measure progress toward achieving key NCLBA goals; and (3) what challenges states face in using growth models especially to meet the law's key goals. (Contains 11 footnotes, 7 figures, and 2 tables.) [This document was produced by the U.S. Government Accountability Office.] (ERIC). |
