- Summary:
- In recent years, schools have been sweeping away traditional notions of how we know what students know. Testing is on the front lines of the education reform debate - by one estimate, the 41 million schoolchildren in America take 127 million tests annually - and the shift in student assessment is turning education itself upside down. In Measuring Up, Robert Rothman clearly and objectively explains the upheaval in thinking about testing that could dramatically transform American education.
