Standardized Testing 

The U.S. Department of Education believes that standardized testing is a normal way of assessing what students have learned. Although 81 percent of teachers believe that standardized testing is a fair way of assessing student progress, the pressure surrounding teacher assessment and test grades has produced anxiety among teachers and students alike. This illuminating volume details the controversy over standardized testing in U.S. schools. The book provides a history of standardized testing as well as its evolution over the last few decades.
