ESSAY ON: Effects of Standardized Tests on Curriculum

Number of Pages 6

This research paper: A 6 page research paper/essay that examines the effects of standardized tests on curriculum. For decades, policymakers and educators have been attempting to address the problem of declining quality in the public education system. The latest effort in a long series of remedies is to institute standardized tests at various levels of education, beginning in elementary school. Students must pass these tests in order to proceed and it gives authorities a basis for giving schools, teachers and principals "report cards." Inherent in this scenario is the idea that employing standardized tests will necessarily result in a superior education; however, examination of several recent articles negates this assumption due to the negative effects that standardized testing is having on curriculum. Bibliography lists 3 sources.
