c) No child left behind
d) Meeting the bar high-stakes testing

Answer 1

The three methods of assessing education on a national level are Race to the Top, No Child Left Behind, and high-stakes testing. No Child Left Behind focuses on standardized tests and has led to teaching narrowly to the test, while Race to the Top incentivizes educational reform.

Step-by-step explanation:

Selecting three methods of assessing education on a national level from the options provided, the correct answers are: b) Race to the Top, c) No Child Left Behind, and d) Meeting the bar high-stakes testing. 'Open doors to open minds' is not a recognized program for national education assessment.

The No Child Left Behind Act was signed into law in January 2002, with a focus on testing to measure and improve student performance in reading and math. Schools that did not meet certain benchmarks could face significant changes or closure. The act has been associated with the phenomenon of "teaching to the test", where education curriculums can become narrowly focused on preparing students for standardized tests rather than fostering a broad educational experience.

High-stakes testing often refers to standardized tests used for making important decisions about students, teachers, and schools.

Race to the Top was an initiative by President Obama's administration, setting competitive grants to incentivize and reward states for education innovation and reform.
