Raising the bar across the curriculum has become serious business.

Why John Kuhn, superintendent of Perrin-Whitt (Texas) School District stood up for teachers.

As enrollment increased rapidly in the Humble (Texas) Independent School District, administrators found a way to keep standards high.

As creative as a superintendent may be, education reform is limited by state infrastructure.

The process has become so competitive that some students are hiring teams of experts, tipping the scale even further away from lower-income students.

States using college admission tests such as the SAT or ACT for measuring achievement of state learning standards are being cautioned to rethink using tests in this manner.
