Tóm tắt

Nhiều tiểu bang đã áp dụng các hệ thống trách nhiệm dựa trên kiểm tra trước khi Đạo luật Không Đứa Trẻ Nào Bị Bỏ Lại (No Child Left Behind - NCLB) năm 2001 trở thành luật. NCLB đã thêm một chiều hướng mới vào các hệ thống trách nhiệm giáo dục dựa trên kiểm tra. Bài viết thảo luận về các đặc điểm của trách nhiệm tại tiểu bang và NCLB, với sự nhấn mạnh vào các câu hỏi về tính hợp lệ của các suy diễn được thực hiện về chất lượng trường học. Kết luận cho thấy không có phương pháp hiện tại nào áp dụng cho trách nhiệm dựa trên kiểm tra hỗ trợ cho các suy diễn nguyên nhân về chất lượng trường học. Bài viết cũng chỉ ra rằng việc theo dõi tiến độ hướng tới mục tiêu quan trọng là thu hẹp khoảng cách về thành tích cần hơn là chỉ giám sát sự thay đổi về tỷ lệ học sinh đạt yêu cầu.
