High-Stakes Testing: Coping With Collateral Damage by R. Murray Thomas
Requirements: .PDF reader, 13 Mb
Overview: The federal government’s No Child Left Behind Act has thrust high-stakes testing – its goals, methods, and consequences – into the educational limelight. The four-fold purpose of this book is to: describe the nature of high-stakes testing; identify types of collateral damage that have attended the testing programs; analyze methods different groups of people have chosen for coping with the damage and suggest lessons to be learned from the high-stakes-testing experience.
The six groups of people whose coping strategies are inspected include: politicians and their staffs; educational administrators and their staffs; parents and the public; test makers and test administrators; teachers and students. Importantly, the author avoids aligning himself with the test-bashing rhetoric of those who oppose high-stakes testing, especially the No Child Left Behind Act.
