Taking Off! Sharing State-Level Accountability Strategies: Using Academic
and Vocational Accountability Strategies To Improve Student Achievement
M. L. Rahn, P. O'Driscoll, P. Hudecki

Taking Off! outlines numerous state-level approaches toward creating
standards, curriculum strategies, quality assurance, policy linkages, and
other aspects of accountability. This compilation is based on interviews
with state staff, a literature review, and NCRVE's technical assistance
activities. It will be especially valuable for state administrators, state
policymakers, and others helping states improve their accountability
systems.
