Abstract | Accountability and assessment are critical components to the success of schools today. As leaders of school districts, superintendents in Texas and across the nation are faced daily with meeting this challenge. While doing so, they must remember that their priority commitment is not to testing programs, but to helping children achieve. Consequently, understanding how to analyze and use data for education planning is critical. With this in mind, superintendents must be able to use accountability systems that work to equip children to achieve. Therefore, the purpose of this research was to evaluate the impact on the district of the Texas Assessment of Knowledge and Skills (TAKS) and No Child Left Behind (NCLB) assessment and accountability programs as perceived by Texas superintendents. The following are appended: (1) Requirements for Texas Rating Categories; and (2) Copy of Survey. (Contains 2 tables.) (ERIC). |
