Teaching to the Test: Implications for College Accounting Learning

Fri, March 14, 10:30am to 12:00pm, Sheraton Dallas Hotel, TBA

Abstract

As we approach the 2014 target date established under the federal law known as No Child Left Behind (NCLB), it is important to evaluate how this legislation has impacted students in our college classrooms and our own teaching. Some education experts have used the word “laudable” to describe the goals of NCLB. Indeed, on the face of it, that seems apropos based on the expressed desire to make “substantial improvement in instruction and learning for all students and closing the achievement gap.” Yet, as sometimes happens with good ideas…there can be unintended and detrimental consequences. The manner in which K-12 teachers and administrators have had to respond to No Child Left Behind has produced negative consequences, not the least of which has been “teaching to the test.” The authors will discuss this and other effects of NCLB and will provide strategies for counteracting the negative impact on our students’ academic skills.
