Abstract | Thousands of educators, parent activists, and others are expected to convene in the heat and humidity of Washington next month for a march protesting the current thrust of education policy in the United States, especially the strong emphasis on test-based accountability. Organizers of the Washington say U.S. policymakers are moving in the wrong direction to bring about school improvement. Leaders of the march--current and former educators among them--say they're determined to build a grassroots movement that has staying power beyond the gathering this summer and "restores" a central role for educators, parents, and communities in policy decisions. March organizers and supporters suggest that many teachers have become increasingly frustrated with the test-driven accountability framework at the heart of the U.S. education system and look with alarm at the wave of teacher-evaluation measures being enacted in some states, pegged in part to student scores on standardized tests. The point of the rally is to start momentum toward a sea change, to bring together--physically and virtually--a network of people who want change. (ERIC). |
