On July 28, New York State chancellor Meryl Tisch and commissioner of education Joseph Steiner released state test results and in doing so exposed that a majority of states have been lowering proficiency standards as a part of the No Child Left Behind game. Tisch and Steiner’s effort to align New York’s tests to what students need to know in order to be college-ready sets an example for every state as well as for federal education officials. In a new issue brief, Four Lessons from New York’s Test Results, Century Foundation fellow Gordon MacInnes writes that, “The sensible honesty of the New York leadership deserves national attention, particularly from advocates of ‘transformational reform.’”
