The Rhetoric Of State Assessment: Educational Politics In The Public School System, Renee Michelle Longshore
The Rhetoric Of State Assessment: Educational Politics In The Public School System, Renee Michelle Longshore
Theses Digitization Project
In this thesis I explore the rhetoric behind the assessment push nation-wide and, particularly, in California. I take a close look at what politicians, educators, and citizens say about public education and their views of the current educational reform: whether they are speaking in support of or opposition to the No Child Left Behind Act of 2001. I look specifically at the finances of public education in California, the impact and current outcome of NCLB, and propose new reforms as suggested by those intimately involved in education.
