Stop High-Stakes Testing : An Appeal to America's Conscience Hardback
by Dale Johnson, Bonnie Johnson, Steve Farenga, Daniel Ness
Hardback
Description
Stop High-Stakes Testing: An Appeal to America's Conscience is a compelling indictment of the use of high-stakes assessments with punitive consequences in our public schools.
The authors trace the history of the policy and document the inequities for children of poverty that undergird high-stakes testing practices.
Lack of dental and medical care, environmental violence, insufficient school funding, racism, and classism—all factors that contribute to this dire situation—are discussed in depth.
The authors make a convincing case for discontinuing the unjust testing that has been forced on our nation's public school children.
