pay far greater attention to the improvement of classroom
assessment."
This excert from the reading really sums up the reading. It talks about how high stakes testing is not bad at all. They just need to approach it in a difrent way so the students who don't do well with it don't just give up. It talks about assessment for learning a lot and how if we can let students learn at there own pace they do better.
It talks about the politician in this country and how some of them understand that this needs to change, but they don't know how to do it. We as a country have been doing high stakes test since the school system started and have only added more test over the last hundred years. As we look now we see that the numbers are not going up because students are feeling hopeless.
What needs to be done is to teach teachers how to do better assessment in the class. And also let them have a little more lead way in the class. Right now there is so many deadlines and goverment programs to tell them what to teach when and how long to teach it. We need to worry more about the for learners then the of learners.
