ETS Report Opens New Window on National Data

Learning, and developing the ability to learn and think, begins in the nursery, according to a new report from the Educational Testing Service (ETS). In “Windows on Achievement and Inequality,” authors Paul Barton and Richard Coley comprehensively analyze not just data from NCLB requirements but much more, going beyond the typical information about the status of education achievement in the United States and gaps in achievement among the nation’s students. Though NCLB monitors whether more students are proficient, Barton and Coley also examine what’s happening to both top-performing and lower-performing students.
