Interesting piece. The saga goes on and on…. about using student test scores for everything. Will doing the dishes be next?http://www.joannejacobs.com/2011/05/the-exaggerated-power-of-test-scores/comment-page-1/#comment-163857
But WAIT!!
Before we use test scores for any accountability–student and/or teacher and/or schools, let’s be sure the tests are valid–that is, that they actually measure what they say they measure.
Check out my friend, Marcia Kastner’s new book, TESTING THE TEST on this… and her Commentary in Education Week (May 11).
