Meet the challenges of high stakes testing in the practice of
school psychology School psychologists can be a positive influence
on how students, teachers, parents, schools, and communities cope
with the challenges and opportunities associated with high stakes
testing. Unfortunately, there has been a significant lack of
literature to guide school psychologists and related school-based
practitioners on this topic. High Stakes Testing: New Challenges
and Opportunities for School Psychology is a timely groundbreaking
book that provides useful and thought-provoking information to help
psychologists meet the challenges of high stakes testing and create
new roles for themselves in helping children succeed. This book
discusses practical ways to help provide academic support to
facilitate student success on high stakes tests, reduce the impact
of stress associated with high stakes testing, assess the data from
the tests to improve programs, and take a leadership role in the
appropriate use of the tests. The No Child Left Behind Act of
2001(NCLB) and its accountability provisions has helped create and
sustain a climate where student performance on state-created
achievement tests often has high stakes implications for students,
families, and schools. High Stakes Testing: New Challenges and
Opportunities for School Psychology provides important background
information about high stakes testing, including the legal,
historical, and political context of high stakes testing, pertinent
psychometrics, and a review of research on academic and
non-academic outcomes as it relates to high stakes testing. Using
this information as a foundation, the book then identifies new
roles and opportunities for school psychologists with respect to
high stakes testing. This book is comprehensively referenced.
Topics in High Stakes Testing: New Challenges and Opportunities for
School Psychology include: advocating for the appropriate use of
state-wide assessments the influence of item response theory (IRT)
on the development of high stakes tests whether the accountability
system of NCLB is truly improving student's learning the impact of
high stakes tests on classroom instruction and student motivation
strategies for helping students succeed on high stakes tests
available resources to cope with the stress of high stakes testing
and more High Stakes Testing: New Challenges and Opportunities for
School Psychology is a thought-provoking, horizon-expanding
resource for school psychologists, public school educators,
administrators, school counselors, curriculum coordinators, and
special education teachers involved in organizing, administering,
and preparing students to take high stakes tests.
