The fourfold purpose of this book is to: describe the nature of highstakes testing; identify types of collateral damage that have attended the testing programs; analyze methods different groups of people have chosen for coping with the damage and suggest lessons to be learned from the highstakestesting experience.The six groups of people whose coping strategies are inspected include: politicians and their staffs; educational administrators and their staffs; parents and the public; test makers and test administrators; teachers and students. Importantly, the author avoids aligning himself with the testbashing rhetoric of those who oppose highstakes testing, especially the No Child Left Behind Act.Key features of this outstanding new book include: illustrative cases.

Part II, which is the heart of the book, devotes a separate chapter to the coping strategies of each of the major participants in the highstakes testing movement: politicians and their staffs, educational administrators and their staffs, parents and the public, testmakers and testgivers, teachers, and students. summary chapter. The last chapter (Lessons to Learn) offers suggestions for minimizing collateral damage by adopting alternative approaches not used in the creation of our current highstakes testing programs, particularly the federal government's No Child Left Behind Act.This book is appropriate for any of the following audiences: students taking evaluation or administration courses in schools of education, inservice administrators and teachers, policy makers, and those members of the general public who are concerned about the fate of schooling in America.
