ESSAY ON: Standardized Testing

Number of Pages 10

This research paper: This 10 page paper begins by briefly defining what a standardized test is and the importance placed on them. The purpose of these tests, how they can be used and why they are used is discussed at length. The limits of these tests are also reported. For instance, the new requirement to test Head Start children is deemed absurd by many experts. The essay reports the problems that have emerged with these tests in the last several years. Opponents of standardized testing charge the tests are discriminatory against certain groups but empirical evidence does not validate this argument. The writer also discusses whether or not these tests should be used as the criterion for promotion/retention. Bibliography lists 13 sources.
