In this episode, Lauren Bauer, post-doctoral fellow in Economic Studies and the Hamilton Project at Brookings, and Anne Wicks, director of education reform at the George W. Bush Institute, explain how states are developing new measures of school quality and student success as required under the Every Student Succeeds Act.
Bauer and Wicks also detail how using two specific measures – chronic absenteeism and college and career readiness – help teachers and administrators understand and improve students’ education.
