High Stakes Testing
Members often contact the NCTE headquarters for information on particular topics or programs. While NCTE does not endorse or recommend specific programs, the membership has passed resolutions related to many current issues. This resource site is a compilation of NCTE resources, support materials, and excerpts from teacher commentary on frequently requested topics.
"High stakes testing" does not describe a particular test, but rather the use of a single assessment measure in making an important decision such as graduation, promotion, funding of schools, or employment and compensation of administrators and teachers.
