NCLB sold the nation on the idea that yearly standardized testing of all children provided necessary information when in reality the results from the random use of the long - established National Assessment of Educational Progress (NAEP) continues to provide consistent national
monitoring of student academic progress.
The bill would make several changes to teacher evaluations, including requiring more frequent performance reviews, more training for evaluators and the use of multiple measures
of student academic progress — which could include test scores but would not require them, as current state law does.
