Evidence Suggests Otherwise: An Analysis of the Testing Industry In America

Evidence_suggests_final.pdf (application/pdf Object) is a very interesting study of the American obsession with lists--in this case how lists impact education. What I find most interesting is that the data reported in this report unpacks the rather simplistic notion that schools can be ranked by a single measure. Much like students should not be ranked using a single testing instrument because they are complex and the process of teaching and learning is complex, so too schools must not be ranked by single measures.
