How do we achieve national standards without making it a top-down demand from Washington? Edin08’s Roy Romer argues for a group of states drafting a set of common standards, benchmarking the standards against high-performing nations, and in what sounds like the highway-aid-for-21-drinking age playbook, giving the states “incentives to adopt the model standards, such as free use of assessments designed to measure performance against the standards, or a new deal under NCLB with different timelines and accountability provisions to support meeting the higher standards.”
So Romer ostensibly says in an interview with this web site.
