A Nation at Risk: Commissioned Papers and State Reports

Abstract

A Nation at Risk, the National Commission on Excellence in Education report, has captured the interest of the educational community as well as the nation as a whole. Educational journals, along with many popular periodicals, are full of reports and analyses of its recommendations. Many state education departments, agencies, and boards have also become involved in writing their own “States at Risk” reports. In light of all this activity, it seems appropriate to take a closer look at A Nation at Risk, especially those related reports issued as a result of the original document.
