They point to students' failure to master basic skills, even as standardized testing is widely employed in efforts to improve the educational system. Contradictions of Reform is a provocative look into the reality, for students as well as teachers, of standardized testing. A detailed account of how student improvement and teacher effectiveness are evaluated, Contradictions of Reform argues compellingly that the preparation of students for standardized tests engenders teaching methods that vastly compromise the quality of education.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Linda McNeil\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0415920736\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780415920735\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Routledge\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 05\/04\/2000\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 339\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.46lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.32h x 6.13w x 1.10d","brand":"Linda McNeil","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":48136121975039,"sku":"9780415920735","price":200.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_281fde7a-d3c4-401c-9e49-a8cd08d92802.jpg?v=1770160656","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/contradictions-of-school-reform-linda-mcneil-9780415920735","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
