Studies suggest that the No Child Left Behind Act of 2001's goal of 100 percent of U.S. students proficient in reading and mathematics by 2014 will not be met. The authors recommend more-uniform state academic standards and teacher requirements and broader measures of student learning, including more subjects and tests of higher-thinking and problem-solving skills.

En este libro se revisa el conocimiento basico existente sobre la administracion escolar descentralizada alrededor del mundo y se demuestra la importancia de una evaluacion rigurosa del impacto para formular propuestas de politicas. Varios paises en desarrollo estan introduciendo reformas de administracion escolar dirigidas a empoderar a los directores y maestros de las escuelas. Muchas de estas reformas refuerzan tambien la participacion de los padres. La administracion escolar descentralizada tiene el potencial para convertirse en un medio de muy bajo costo, para que el gasto publico en educacion sea mas eficiente, aumentando la responsabilidad en cada institucion. En esta publicacion se desarrolla un marco teorico de administracion escolar descentralizada y se revisa la experiencia de mas de 20 paises. Los autores ofrecen una breve descripcion de algunas reformas de ese tipo, junto con evidencia sobre su impacto en varios indicadores. En general, encuentran que la administracion escolar descentralizada tiene un efecto positivo sobre algunas variables "reduce las tasas de repeticion y de fracaso y mejora la asistencia", pero resultados mixtos en otras.

This report describes a framework used to organize available empirical information on one form of performance-based management, a performance-based accountability system (PBAS), which identifies individuals or organizations that must change their behavior to improve an activity's performance, an incentive structure to motivate those changes, and measures tailored to inform the incentive structure.
