Subject: State Education Reforms Website updated!


> The National Center for Education Statistics (NCES) has just expanded the 
> State Education Reforms (SER) website. This website was first based on the 
> report "Overview and Inventory of State Education Reforms: 1990 to 2000" 
> and is updated periodically to incorporate new data on state education 
> reform activities.
>
> The SER website, which draws primarily on data collected by organizations 
> other than NCES, compiles and disseminates data on state-level education 
> reform efforts in four areas: 1) standards, assessment, and 
> accountability, 2) school finance reforms, 3) resources for learning, and 
> 4) state support for school choice options. Specific reform areas include 
> student and teacher assessments, adequate yearly progress, statewide exit 
> exams, highly qualified teachers, open enrollments laws, and charter 
> schools.
>
> In the Standards, Assessment, and Accountability area of the website, two 
> tables were updated. Two tables were updated and two new tables were added 
> to the Resources for Learning section. To locate these tables on the State 
> Education Reforms website, please look for the "New!" and "Updated!" tags 
> next to the table titles.
