	CIVITAS@PRAGUE.1995 Viewed from Afar:- A New Meaning for "World-Class Standards" in Education (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-01)
		Comenius is usually cited in the history of education for writing a series of graded textbooks profusely illustrated to promote the learning of language through pictures, accompanied by definitions in Latin as well as in various vernacular tongues (an early form of bilingual teaching).
		Education was a handmaiden of Western missionaries who pursued their "civilizing mission" in Africa and Asia in the 18th and 19th centuries.
		For example, standards are now being developed by a task force of the Council of Chief State School Officers, by the National Board for Professional Teaching Standards, by the new 'National Commission on Teaching and America's Future,' and by the 'New Professional Teacher Project' of the National Council for Accreditation of Teacher Education (NCATE).

		Educational Testing Service is the world's largest private educational testing and measurement organization and a leader in educational research.
		It also reports on states' activities and intentions to assess whether students are meeting the standards, whether states are providing extra academic help to students who are having difficulty meeting the standards, and whether states are attaching meaningful consequences to the standards so that students and others take them seriously.
		The effects of the standards on teaching and curriculum development can be anticipated, but their effects on evaluation in science education are not as obvious, although it does follow that instruments developed for evaluating a specific program that are true to the standards should be applicable to evaluation of other science education programs.

		National, state, and district standards; target setting; enhanced programs for the external testing of students' performance; surveys such as NAEP (National Assessment of Educational Progress) and TIMSS (Third International Mathematics and Science Study); initiatives to improve school planning and management; and more frequent and thorough inspection are all means toward the same end.
		Attempts to raise standards by reforming the inputs to and measuring the outputs from the fl box of the classroom can be helpful, but they are not adequate on their own.
		All features in the education system that actually obstruct the development of effective formative assessment should be examined to see how their negative effects can be reduced.

		In his annual lecture, the head of the Office for Standards in Education claimed that 40% of pupils were leaving primary schools "illiterate" and called for an acceptance that teaching standards have to be upgraded.
		In a speech that follows the publication of primary school league tables showing that there are still weaknesses in English and maths, Mr Woodhead backed the government's drive to raise standards.
		The literacy and numeracy projects launched by the government are described as "immensely important", in part because they "confront inadequate teaching, which as we all know, but won't always admit, is why standards are too low in too many schools".
