In response to the No Child Left Behind Act of 2001 (NCLB), Systems
for State Science Assessment explores the ideas and tools that are
needed to assess science learning at the state level. This book
provides a detailed examination of K-12 science assessment: looking
specifically at what should be measured and how to measure it.
Along with reading and mathematics, the testing of science is a key
component of NCLB?it is part of the national effort to establish
challenging academic content standards and develop the tools to
measure student progress toward higher achievement. The book will
be a critical resource for states that are designing and
implementing science assessments to meet the 2007-2008 requirements
of NCLB. In addition to offering important information for states,
Systems for State Science Assessment provides policy makers, local
schools, teachers, scientists, and parents with a broad view of the
role of testing and assessment in science education. Table of
