The Testing Trap

How State Writing Assessments Control Learning

Herausgeber: Genishi, Celia; Alvermann, Donna E; Strickland, Dorothy S

Beschreibung

Hardly a day goes by without talk of testing students to higher standards as a means to improve our education system. Hillocks puts this logic to the test. Through interviews with over three hundred teachers and administrators, Hillocks examines whether state writing tests in Illinois, Kentucky, Oregon, New York, and Texas do what they are supposed to do: improve education.
