This book offers a comprehensive critique of how the assessment
industry and standardized testing adversely impact students,
teachers, and society. The authors present the case that the
interconnected developments of the testing industry and the
Assessment Industrial Complex (AIC) have effectively anchored
American schooling to testing. Using an antiracist lens, the
authors deconstruct the AIC, exposing the neoliberal agenda of
education reformers and how proponents utilize the rhetoric of
testing, and the data extracted from them, to normalize the
reliance on AIC systems. This critique further exposes education
reformers' ideological agenda, their hypocrisy, and how they
grossly profit from the AIC at the expense of society's
marginalized and most vulnerable students. The COVID-19 pandemic,
society's racial unrest, and anti-testing movements have aligned to
underscore the need to examine systemic oppression and the impact
it has on society through our education system. This text exposes
how standardized testing perpetuates these injustices and provides
the opportunity to disrupt the systems they rely upon and bolster
the societal resistance that is needed.
