The Dangers of Testing.
Neill, Monty
Educational Leadership, v60 n5 p43-46 Feb 2003
Asserts that educators should reject test-based reform and focus instead on assessment practices that encourage higher level learning. Simply demanding higher scores, even with rewards and sanctions attached, is ineffective. Academic success comes not by teaching to standardized tests but by teaching for deeper, important meaning. (Contains 22 references.) (WFA)
