Drawing on their extensive research, Nichols and Berliner document and categorize the ways that highstakes testing threatens the purposes and ideals of the American education system.For more than a decade, the debate over highstakes testing has dominated the field of education. This passionate and provocative book provides a fresh perspective on the issue and powerful ammunition for opponents of highstakes tests.Their analysis is grounded in the application of Campbells Law, which posits that the greater the social consequences associated with a quantitative indicator (such as test scores), the more likely it is that the indicator itself will become corruptedand the more likely it is that the use of the indicator will corrupt the social processes it was intended to monitor.Nichols and Berliner illustrate both aspects of this corruption, showing how the pressures of highstakes testing erode the validity of test scores and distort the integrity of the education system. Their analysis provides a coherent and comprehensive intellectual framework for the wideranging arguments against highstakes testing, while putting a compelling human face on the data marshalled in support of those arguments.
