鈥� the growth models of Colorado, Minnesota, Pennsylvania, and Texas. Now, 15 states are using the growth models.
鈥�Spellings has added Arkansas, Louisiana, and New York to the differentiated accountability pilot program. That brings the total number of states to nine. (No link available yet.)
鈥�every state an update on where they stand on the 鈥渃ornerstones鈥� of NCLB: Testing, accountability, AYP reporting, flexibility, and other issues. (Think of it as a 7th birthday present for every state chief.) It also includes specifying where every state stands on these issues.
