{"product_id":"high-stakes-testing-and-the-decline-david-hursh-9780742561496","title":"High-Stakes Testing and the Decline of Teaching and Learning: The Real Crisis in Education Volume 1","description":"This book examines the changes in educational policy in the U.S. and Britain over the last twenty-five years. Hursh argues that education in the States and Britain has been radically transformed, first through efforts to create curricular standards, more recently through an emphasis on accountability measured by standardized tests, and currently, efforts to introduce market competition and private services into educational systems. Hursh offers an alternative to the neoliberal conception of society and education complete with examples of parents who reject the current emphasis on individual success and schools that promote civic-mindedness.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e David Hursh\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0742561496\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780742561496\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Rowman \u0026amp; Littlefield Publishers\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 01\/28\/2008\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 186\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.64lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.44h x 5.89w x 0.55d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReview Citation(s): \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eReference and Research Bk News\u003c\/i\u003e 05\/01\/2008 pg. 261","brand":"David Hursh","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":43981161758975,"sku":"9780742561496","price":45.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_08849a1c-4726-4f1e-bfd8-dbf1cb986c5e.jpg?v=1683253993","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/high-stakes-testing-and-the-decline-david-hursh-9780742561496","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
