Contradictions of School Reform : Educational Costs of Standardized Testing, Hardback Book

Contradictions of School Reform : Educational Costs of Standardized Testing Hardback

Part of the Critical Social Thought series

Hardback

Description

Parents and community activists around the country complain that the education system is failing our children.

They point to students' failure to master basic skills, even as standardized testing is widely employed in efforts to improve the educational system.

Contradictions of Reform is a provocative look into the reality, for students as well as teachers, of standardized testing.

A detailed account of how student improvement and teacher effectiveness are evaluated, Contradictions of Reform argues compellingly that the preparation of students for standardized tests engenders teaching methods that vastly compromise the quality of education.
