Story content
I am a regional educational consultant in southeastern Kentucky where indices of poverty, drop out and low achievement cry out for the promulgation of systems and practices that demonstrate the best effect [...] in student achievement. We are data driven and committed to those practices that demonstrate the best outcomes. Critical and often overlooked in this discussion is the quality of the data used to determine instructional impact. I read the study "The roots of score inflation" and immediately saw the relevance for the work in our region and as well as the work we do with the Kentucky Department of Education. It's a snowy day so I'm working from home and I stumbled on this article in a related Google search. Thank you for publishing it so all who choose may read and benefit from it. If Harvard's mission reflects its motto, then open access to scholarly articles embodies the ideal of truth discovered, shared and used for the betterment of humanity.
