This overview traces the history of assessment accountability in Alabama beginning with the 1995 state law mandating norm-referenced tests, such as the Stanford, to identify schools in need of improvement. It discusses the classification statuses: Alert, Caution, and Clear, while examining the implications of the No Child Left Behind Act of 2001, which shifted the focus to criterion-referenced tests in reading. Understanding these developments is crucial for evaluating current practices and devising strategies for ongoing educational improvement in Alabama.
