How Real Are State Test Score Increases?
Submitted by Lance T. Izumi, J.D. on 8.24.2001
Except for a vocal band of extremists, most people see testing as a necessity for both the education and accountability process. Students must be tested to see if they are learning in the classroom and meeting the standards of knowledge enacted by our state policymakers. The question, however, is whether California’s standardized test, the Stanford-9 (SAT-9) exam, actually accomplishes those goals. Because of key problems with the test, both the content and progress of learning remain unclear.
