| Abstract | The research that informs this report indicates that, in Delaware, the standards have indeed been overshadowed by accountability and that several “detours on the road to reform” have resulted in a system that is measurement-driven as opposed to standardsbased. By placing our major findings in a context that includes comparisons to the ideals posited by standards-based reform more generally and Delaware’s New Directions initiative more specifically, we illustrate how disconnects between the ideals and current realities manifest themselves in Delaware schools and classrooms. | en |
