The Growth of Community Colleges in the American States: An Application of Count Models to Institutional Growth

The authors use a panel data set covering all 50 states from the years 1969-2002 to investigate the growth of community colleges. They find that community college expansion was driven in large part by changes in state populations, while growth was slowed by competition from other institutions.

Reclaiming Assessment Through Accountability That Is “Just Right”

The goal of this article is to broaden the understanding of what it means for schools and teachers to be held accountable for student learning and to discuss how different accountability frameworks affect instructional practices in classrooms. We take a practice-oriented perspective on assessment, examining how assessments in schools that participated in a class size reduction program intersected with forces of accountability. Building on three years of data collection in 27 classrooms in nine schools, data were generated through multiple methods, including ethnographic observations, interviews, administration of the Classroom Assessment Scoring System (CLASS), document and artifact collection, and analyses of school-level standardized test scores. We identify and discuss three aspects of assessment practices that affect this intersection: alignment, audience, and action.
