Interversity Quotes"I think it's time to ask the Standardistos: Where's the test for compassion? For honesty? For curiosity? For moral commitment? Until they can answer, let's tell them to shut up." —Susan Ohanian (One Size Fits Few: The Folly of Educational Standards) Interversity ProjectsEchoes of Orwell:The purpose of this webforum is to promote a lively discussion among students and faculty alike about George Orwell's 1984 and the parallels or echoes found in today's society. |

Transparency should also include the complete publication of all test items, materials, scoring rubrics and other information once the tests have been given. Only this kind of transparency can really reveal the weaknesses and limitations of all high-stakes (usually multiple choice machine scored) tests. And the tests have to be available in full because only the full test can tell the public whether it really "covers" the material that is supposedly on it. I don't know why this simple proposal, which can be implemented at each state level, is so difficult for people to push. Are people so intimidated by test secrecy craziness (or cowed by what happened to me) that they are afraid to note that the Test Emperor Has No Clothes?
