The Trouble with Testing
Volume 26, Number 3, February 2004

In an academic and political environment of high-stakes testing, we as teachers must find the common ground between preparing students for those tests and providing a rich and meaningful learning experience. In this issue, Anne DiPardo, Roxanne Greitz Miller and Robert C. Calfee, and Anthony Scimone share some of their experiences and conclusions from their search for that common ground.
