FALLOUT FROM THE TESTING EXPLOSION: HOW 100 MILLION STANDARDIZED EXAMS UNDERMINE EQUITY AND EXCELLENCE IN AMERICA'S PUBLIC SCHOOLS

A comprehensive study of the standardized tests administered each year to 100 million U.S. public school students. The report concludes that (1) many tests are inaccurate, or biased against minority and low-income students, and (2) relying on standardized testing for decision-making results in a worse, not better, educational system. Includes an extensive annotated bibliography.
