Monday, January 24, 2011 Accountability: The California School GuideA couple of months ago I posted about the availability of individual teacher accountability data on the Los Angeles Times web site. Users can access any teacher's data, at any time...simply by visiting the site. Well, the same exists for California schools. "The California School Guide is the Los Angeles Times' database of test scores, demographics and reader comments about California's public, charter and private schools."

Seth Stephens said... This resource seems like common sense. These types of resources available to the parents, teachers, and students, instead of just legislators and state officials should act as motivators for schools to do a better job of providing a more rounded education by adjusting the data set to do just that. In theory you could grasp the whole picture more effectively than with standardized tests along with the limited resources available to the community at large. That is why this should be the norm in my opinion. Thursday, January 27, 2011 12:38 PM |
