| Title | Resources: The High-Stakes Testing Debate |
| Body | Editor's Note: This page contains a long list of sites about the topic. Copied From: http://m.fasfind.com/wwwtools/magazines.cfm?rid=1536 The issue of high-stakes testing has engaged public passions to a degree unprecedented in the annals of educational policy and practice, and protagonists have found the Internet to be a convenient and effective tool in the pursuit of the argument. The need for educational assessment is not in dispute; the problem lies rather in the perception that a narrow vision of the nature of education and the role of testing has been imposed, riding roughshod over the cherished ideals of educators and established public concepts of the aims and objectives of education - for an expansion on this, see Michael Gunzenhausers article: High-stakes Testing and the Default Philosophy of Education (Theory Into Practice:Winter, 2003). In this edition of WWWTools for Education, we look at the high-stakes testing phenomenon, and arguments for and against from the various classes of stakeholders. |
