High Stakes Testing/Time for Change
A 10 page research paper that examines the ramifications of high-stakes testing on the American educational system. The standards movement has taken hold and has become the dominant paradigm in the American educational landscape. Furthermore, through such various state-mandated legislated standards, as well as the federal No Child Left Behind Act of 2001 (NCLB), high-stakes testing has become not only the dominant philosophy, but a legalistic requirement. Nevertheless, various experts in the field of education argue that the foundational philosophy behind high-stake testing is fundamentally flawed, and should be changed in order for the educational goals of the NCLB to be achieved. This examination of the issues involved in this debate look at the ramifications of high stakes testing both from the viewpoint of education theory and also from a legalistic standpoint.
