Abstract

The Future of Test-Based Educational Accountability began as a tribute to Distinguished Professor Robert Lee Linn upon the occasion of his nominal retirement. A group of his former students and colleagues convened to consider an appropriate project to memorialize the career contributions of this remarkable scholar. A Festschrift conference was planned, to be hosted by the National Center for Research on Evaluation, Standards, and Student Testing (CRESST) at UCLA in January 2007. Unlike most commemorative writings, however, this book is not a retrospective account of past accomplishments. Rather, it examines the most pressing current issues to be faced by policymakers and technical experts as they consider the future of testing systems designed to hold schools accountable for student achievement.
