Definition

  • America’s efforts to improve the academic outcomes of its students has been an increasingly salient issue since the National Commission on Excellence in Education put America’s educational crisis in perspective in its 1983 report, A Nation at Risk: The Imperative for Educational Reform. Subsequently, various governmental school reform efforts at the local, state, and national levels have been introduced to help provide America’s children with more consistent, quality education.
