To better understand how highstakes accountability has influenced teaching and learning, this book takes an indepth look at the myriad consequences that highstakes tests hold for students, teachers, administrators, and the public. By focusing on these tests and spending large amounts of time on test preparation and driving teachers to teach lowlevel, rote memorization, schools are essentially wiping out nontested subjects such as science, social studies, physical education, and the arts. Although testing is promoted as a strategy for improving education for all, research shows that testing has differential effects on students with special needs, minority students, students living in poverty, and those for whom English is a second language. The Unintended Consequences of High Stakes Testing unpacks the assumptions and philosophical foundations on which testing policies are based. The authors' arguments are grounded in extensive interviews and research. Through an examination of research, these authors show that highstakes testing promotes students' dependence on extrinsic motivation at the cost of intrinsic motivation and the associated love of learningwhich has tangible impacts on their education and lives.Features:Examines how high stakes testing from the perspectives of teachers, students, andadminstrators.Considers how testing impacts the curriculum including tested subjects such as reading,writing, and mathematics as well as nontested subjects such as science, social studies,physical education, and the arts.Documents how teachers and administrators engage in test preparation and discusses ethicaland unethical test preparation practices.Reviews the evolution of testing through history and how it mpacts the curriculum.Examines the differential effects of testing on students with special needs, minoritystudents, students living in poverty, and those for whom English is a second language.
