  2. “We regard evidence of learning gains by students taught as the most important accomplishment to monitor. We argue that student learning is both the professional touchstone for teachers and the reason why schools exist, and that regardless of what else is examined in assessing a teacher’s work or a school’s worth, the learning gains of students taught must be taken into account.” -Schalockand Schalock, 1993
