Effects of Inequality and Poverty vs. Teachers and Schooling on America's Youth (2013, background): “If there have been gains in achievement they have been slight, mostly in mathematics, but not as easily found in reading (see Amrein & Berliner, 2002; Braun, Chapman, & Vezzu, 2010; Chudowsky, Chudowsky, & Kober, 2009; Lee, 2008; Nichols, Glass, & Berliner, 2006, 2012; Smith, 2007).”
Rational responses to high stakes testing: the case of curriculum narrowing and the harm that follows (2011, result): “The NCLB act was supposed to reduce the achievement gaps between poor and wealthy students, but data supporting that claim is in dispute (e.g., Amrein & Berliner, 2002; Braun, Chapman, & Vezzu, 2010; Chudowsky, Chudowsky, & Kober, 2009; Lee, 2008; Smith, 2007).”
Exploring Student Achievement Gaps in School Districts Across the United States (2020, background): “Achievement gaps have been found between male and female students, among different socioeconomic groups, among racial categories, and along parental education attainment lines (Goldsmith, 2004; J. Lee, 2008; Orfield, Frankenberg, & Lee, 2003).”
Standardized Testing and School Accountability (2010, background): “Reviewing 14 studies on the impact of accountability regimes (and 76 effect sizes derived therefrom), Lee (2008) showed that the average effect sizes for grade-based (ie, cross-sectional) analyses was 0.”
Incentives and Test-Based Accountability in Education (2011, methodology): “For the early period, we used a meta-analysis of 14 studies that compared states that started test-based incentives before NCLB with states that did not (Lee, 2008).”
Revisiting the Impact of NCLB High-Stakes School Accountability, Capacity, and Resources (2012, background): “Evidence for the effects of such pre-NCLB test-driven accountability policy on student achievement, however, was mixed and often contradictory (see Carnoy & Loeb, 2002; Grissmer & Flanagan, 1998; Haney, 2000; Ladd, 1999; Lee, 2008).”
