I strongly agree with this James Popham in his arguments both for and against standardized testing. As a classroom teacher, I know how hard it is to delve deeply into the content, when you know that there are only so many days until “the big test”. I do believe that assessment can be a huge asset to the classroom and to our educational system, but also believe that it needs to be done in the right way and with a strong purpose. I look forward to a further development of my own knowledge in this area of education.
