Testing
Background
Actions
Resource Links
- Federal law, No Child Left Behind, requires all schools to be "accountable"
- Accountability has been equated to test scores and school performance (and in turn the performance of teachers and administrators) is evaluated based on standardized test scores
- Klein administration further instituted interim assessments, many of which are multiple choice, fill-in-the-bubbles tests developed by private for-profit companies
- More time spent on preparing students for the tests (teaching to the tests)
- Test scores used to evaluate student, teacher and school performance
Actions
- Tell your Congressional representatives and Senators that the No Child Left Behind law needs to be amended so that testing is not the only assessment tool
