The paper considers theoretical and empirical evidence on the impact of standards-based school reform. Our theoretical synthesis distinguishes between sorting and incentive effects of high standards, and spells out the potential tradeoffs and complementarities between enhancing efficiency and equity in student achievement. Differentiated credentials can be helpful in ameliorating tradeoffs, provided that distinct signals are clearly understood, especially between cognitive and non-cognitive skills. The paper reviews trends in state-level school accountability systems, and examines empirical evidence on the impact of increased standards and expectations on student achievement. Finally, the paper reviews some of the practical challenges facing the standards movement.

Can the national commitment to equal educational opportunity for all be sustained without weakening schools? This paper says yes and suggests principles for a new federal role. It shows how government policies have made schools more formal and complex; engineered political pressures that distorted schools’ operations and priorities; and imposed requirements that facilitate oversight by legislatures, bureaucracies, and courts, yet impede effective instruction
