MORE >> Published: September 21, 2004 Standards Printer-Friendly Email Article addthis_url = story.getEncryptedURI(false); addthis_title = story.getTitle(false); addthis_pub = 'edweek'; The underlying assumption of standards-based reform—quite a radical one, if taken seriously—is that all students are capable of meeting high expectations. Student achievement data in the U.S. show long-standing gaps in performance. In a nation where expectations in our schools have varied widely, and where expectations for economically disadvantaged and minority students have been generally lower than for other students, standards are seen by many as the foundation upon which excellence and equity can be built into the nation's public education system. Setting rigorous academic standards, measuring student progress against those standards, and holding students and educators accountable for meeting them are the essential components of the standards-based reform movement.

Essays Peace Corps Web Design Questions, comments, compliments or complaints? E-mail: tedpack@thevision.net Standards are nothing more, and nothing less, than doing things a consistent way. They are all around us. For instance, a GE light bulb will fit in a Sylvania socket, and vice versa, because the thread size for light bulbs in this country is standard. Automobiles are full of standards too. Imagine flying into Chicago and having the lady at the Hertz counter tell you "Good Evening, Mr. McCorkle. Your car is ready. Oh, by the way, here in Illinois the brake is on the right and the accelerator is on the left. Be careful - it's starting to snow." Back to genealogy, and your data. Having some standards is more important than which ones you have. For example, I never abbreviate state names. You might always abbreviate them. Suppose RootsWeb got a great new data base of Pennsylvania births, deaths and marriages. We would both want to use the custom report feature of our genealogy programs to list everyone we had from Pennsylvania, then check the list against the data to see if we could fill in some missing facts. We could both use the state as the selection criteria in the custom report. You could look with 10 less keystrokes than I could, since you would use "PA" and I "Pennsylvania". Someone who used "Pa" (no period), "Pa." (with a period), "Penn", "Penn." and "Pennsylvania" interchangeably would have a harder time listing all of the individuals who were from the Keystone State.

Encyclopedia of Public Health Standardization Standardization (or adjustment) of rates is used to enable the valid comparison of groups (e.g., those studied in different places or times) that differ regarding an important health determinant (most commonly age). Although often presented in epidemiologic textbooks as a separate technique, it is in fact a specific application of the general methods to control for confounding factors. As such, many of the issues related to confounding and methods used to adjust for confounding can be applied to standardization. Historically, the need for age standardization was recognized well before the general concept of confounding was formalized. It has it roots in the earliest epidemiological studies—the first known reference to age standardization appeared in a publication by F. G. P. Neison in 1844. The most familiar application is in the presentation of age-standardized mortality or cancer incidence rates to explore temporal trends.
