| description | Cites three critical questions to examine reasons for inconclusive findings relating middle school practices recommended in "Turning Points" to student achievement: (1) shortcomings in operationalizing variables; (2) what is measured; or (3) uncontrolled variables.

Concludes with a challenge to educators and policymakers to question some uses of standardized tests. (KB) |
