STRATEGY #6 OF A WORLD-CLASS EDUCATIONAL SYSTEM:

Because it is increasingly clear that some educational strategies are more successful than others, we must base students’ education on proven practices and solid evidence.  We should expand what works and stop doing what doesn’t.  An essential priority of our efforts to use data and research should be measuring and holding ourselves accountable for the growth in learning that individual students make over time.  For every year that students spend in school, they should make at least a year’s growth in achievement – and more than that if they start out behind.
