Who's Afraid of the Big, Bad TAAS? Rethinking Our Response to Standardized Testing.
McClaskey, Janet
English Journal, v91 n1 p88-95 Sep 2001
Considers three possible responses to standardized testing: Ignoring the test, embedding the test, and embracing the test. Concludes that the problem lies not in the tests themselves, but rather in how educators approach them and, more inherently, in what educators believe about them. (SG)
