Move Along…Nothing To See Here…

Interesting response to the federal SIG grants from Maine.

Per this post from a few weeks ago, what the Maine article shows is the promise of common standards as a common yardstick.    Right now everyone can bring whatever measures they want to argue about quality and often in a decontextualized way.  For instance are SAT scores really that useful a barometer of overall quality?  Common standards won’t solve that by fiat but would change conversations like this.
