The Interim Council on Standards and Testing held it’s first meeting, a panel on national education goals. The Council was created by Congress to advise the National Education Goals Panel on academic standards for American education, one of the panel’s six goals for American education. It was also authorized to advise the panel on a suitable means of national testing to measure whether the academic standards are being achieved. Panel members drew on their experiences with the American educational system to discuss the advantages and disadvantages of proposals for academic standards and testing, including such factors as who sets the standards, the possibility of bias against minorities in national standardized tests, and educational program assessments. close
