Science Education Reform for All (SERA) Executive Summary Table of Contents Conclusions II. Lessons Learned We learned from this SERA study that while the turf wars continue, funds shrink, and leaders depart, state departments of education, school districts, and schools are sticking with SMT reform. In terms of educating a diverse population in SMT, educators are devising strategies that they think fit the needs of their students and their available resources. Many of these strategies are based on educational equity research that has been summarized in print and electronic toolkits. These toolkits have been developed by federal and state education offices and centers as well as other educational organizations and offices. The following lessons learned from the SERA study may offer some guidance for other educators who are trying to figure out how to infuse equity into systemic reform initiatives.

Given concerns about using only fair, non-biased tests, districts need to take the time to ensure that new assessments and the administration of these assessments are appropriate for diverse student populations. Particularly with performance-based assessment, test developers need to be concerned about:
