WHATS AT STAKE IN THE K-12 STANDARDS WARS KARTO...

The standards wars are another manifestation of the culture wars. Few educational policy makers
understand the many disciplinary  pedagogical  and curricular issues occuring at the heart of
the conflicts as states develop or revise their K-12 standards and standards-based assessments
in the major subjects. The issues differ from subject to subject. This collection of essays
addresses the issues that have arisen in the development and implementation of national and
state standards in science  mathematics  history  economics  and the English language arts from
the perspective of scholars in those disciplines. These scholars are writing not for other
scholars in their field but for those who help shape K-12 educational policy legislators 
members of boards of education  and those who teach courses in government or education policy
making. The purpose of this collection is to clarify what is at stake in the standards wars and
in standards-based systemic reform.
