The influence of an NCLB accountability plan on the distribution of student test score gains

Previous research on the effect of accountability programs on the distribution of student test score gains is decidedly mixed. This study examines the issue by estimating an educational production function in which test score gains are a function of the incentives schools have to focus instruction on below-proficient students. NCLB's threat of sanctions are positively correlated with test score gains by below-proficient students in failing schools; greater than expected test score gains by below-proficient students do not occur at the expense of high-performing students in failing schools. This pattern of results tends to suggest that failing schools were able to benefit low-performing students in ways that were consistent with having operational slack, and that the threat of sanctions may stimulate greater productivity within failing schools.     

带“先”字的时间比较句

带"先"字的时间比较句,简称"未VP……先"句式。该句式由前后两部分组成:前半部分是由否定副词(未)修饰某个行为动作所形成的短语,后半部分是由时间副词(先)修饰另一行为动作而形成的短语。该句式通过比较,主要描述前后两个行为动作发生时间的先后顺序。在《儿女英雄传》中,该句式的用例有单句形式,也有复句形式。无论是单句还是复句形式,"未VP……先"句式都能变换为叠合结构(如,未VP之先)。"未VP"是先秦时代经常用来表达时间概念的句式,直到汉代,才出现形式上有标记、意义上比"未VP"更加明确地表达时间概念的同义句式"未VP……先"。"未VP……先"是从先秦开始由蕴含时间意义的"未VP"句式演变为叠合结构的重要环节。

What Does the No Child Left Behind Act Mean to Early Childhood Teacher Educators?: A Call for a Collective Professional Rejoinder

This article is a call to become more critically aware of the new law commonly referred to as No Child Left Behind Act, which was put into effect in 2002 in the United States. The article is also an invitation to early childhood educators worldwide to engage in a dialogue that raises several questions: (a) How does such legislation affect early childhood educators and teacher preparation programs?; (b) How might teacher educators react and respond to the new law as they continuously practice informed decision-making about teacher preparation that is socially responsible? In view of these questions, it is a hope that we can see the initiation of nationwide dialogue regarding the issue of the No Child Left Behind Act. Primarily, how does the new law affect teacher educators and teachers? It is inevitable for us to be united and politically informed to prevent further scrutiny of questionable politically and economically driven educational practices in the United States, not to mention “test-heavy” evidence-based education reform.
