Abstract | [Excerpt] There is much evidence to suggest that over the last 20 years or so many schooling systems around the globe have introduced standardized testing (National LargeScale Assessments – NLSAs), often of a census kind. The case of the USA dealt with in this chapter is a case in point, with such testing being conducted at the subnational state level, but in response to federal requirements. The first significant federal requirement for such testing at Grades 3 through 8 was President G.W. Bush’s No Child Left Behind Act (2002), further reinforced by President Obama’s Race to the Top legislation (2009). These were high-stakes tests linked to performance-based accountability (PBA1 ) for teachers, schools and systems. There has been a less robust federal agenda on such matters under the Trump Presidency with more commitment to ‘states’ rights’ in education and a strengthened focus on further privatization. |
