Analysis of the data revealed teachers, school administration, and students all shared a common view of progressive social studies, but found that the mandated Global History and Regents Examination compromised this practice and consequently compromised the mission of the school. From this study, it is clear that progressive social studies may not be able to co-exist comfortably with standardization, high-stakes testing, and accountability.
