Education reform is the name given to the goal of changing public education. Historically reforms have taken different forms because the motivation of reformers have differed . However since 1980's education reforms has been focused on changing the existing system from one focused on input to one focused on output (I.e; student achievement). In united states education reforms encourages and acknowledges public education as the primary source K-12 education for American youth. Education reforms desire to make public education into a market ( in the form of an input and output systems) , where accountability creates high stakes from curriculum standards tied to standardized test.As a result of this input-output system , equality has been conceptualized has an end point , which is often evidenced by an achievement gap among diverse populations. This conceptualization of education reforms is based on the market logic of competition.Y
