Text of Note

A short history of high-stakes testing : arguments for and against its use, its place in contemporary society, and a brief introduction to Campbell's law -- The prevalence and many forms of cheating : and the problem of absolute and relativistic standards for judging such occurrences -- Excluding students from education by design and by neglect : the crisis of caring in our schools, and the special case of the "bubble kids"-- States cheat too! : how statistical trickery and misrepresentation of data mislead the public -- What happens to validity when indicators are distorted and corrupted : the many ways that high-stakes testing promotes such distortion and corruption, and how those practices lead to confusion about what test scores mean -- How high-stakes testing undermines public education and the teaching profession : while also destroying both teacher and student morale -- We conclude that high-stakes testing provides perfect conditions for Campbell's Law to operate : ignores standards for professional conduct and appropriate test use, and is unnecessary because alternative systems of accountability exist.
