Kansas
T he state's new math and English standards got passing marks last year from the American Federation of Teachers, a noted improvement from 1997. Kansas also adopted incentives in 1998 for teachers to become certified by the National Board for Professional Teaching Standards. The state makes schools "conditionally accredited" if they are not up to par, but it has no incentives for high-performing schools. And new graduation requirements for high school students are on hold, until standards in all academic subjects can be revised.
* NOTE: The equity grade is based on 1994-95 data, the most recent available.
? indicates the state did not participate in national assessment, survey, or data collection.
