"It is not hard to understand why accountability testing is popular with policy makers. Testing enjoys broad popular support. Calling for more or higher-stakes testing is a visible, dramatic response to public concerns about education. Moreover, the idea that demanding higher test scores will improve schooling carries with it the not-too-subtle implication that students, teachers, and administrators just aren't trying hard enough."
- from his article, "Performance Assessment and Education Reform"
Dr. Haertel is an expert in the area of educational testing and assessment. He looks at ways teachers and policymakers use and interpret tests, including uses that go beyond the accurate measurement of ability and achievement. He is currently examining evidence of different responses by teachers in high-resource versus low-resource classrooms to the pressures of external accountability testing. |
