Produktbeschreibung

"The question that dismays all teachers and ought to concern every parent because of what it reveals about what school can do to a child's curiosity - ?Will this be on the test?' - will never be answered again in the same way. Bob Rothman offers a rich and compelling account of the unfolding revolution in testing in America's schools." - Richard P. Mills, Vermont commissioner of educationAn award-winning journalist, Rothman cuts through the assessment debate - a debate often characterized by misrepresentations and jargon - to offer a highly accessible examination of the shift in thinking about testing. He underscores that any change must begin with the And: what we want students to know and be able to do. Such changes demand a new way of knowing what students can achieve - and a system that enables them to achieve.
