High-stakes Accountability Testing
Posted By: David Kincaid on November 12, 2000

I would like to dicuss the effects of high-stakes accountability testing at the secondary level. Too include the political, educational and social effects of this educational monolith. I am starting field research at the high school I currently work at to see how today's "higher standards" is deprofesionalizing teaching. Anyone that is currently teaching at the secondary level and teaches courses that have "end of course tests" I would like to hear your thoughts and opinions. However, anyone who would like to voice their concerns please join in as well. Thank You, David K.
