There is too much testing in American Public Schools that is
robbing teachers of valuable instructional time. Some of it is
mandatory, but the vast majority is not, and under the control of
districts, schools and even teachers to reduce. Testing Too Much?
provides a rationale and set of three models to use in cutting back
on testing to reclaim valuable instructional time. It also includes
a high school case study describing how the themes proposed in the
book can be accomplished. Instructional time is a complex subject
that is discussed in detail and the underlying research why it is
so important, especially for disadvantaged children. To address how
best to cut back on non-mandated testing there is a chapter,
written in plain terms, on how to judge the value of a test. Three
models are then discussed on how to approach cutting back on
testing by as much as 25% that can recapture as much as ten days or
more of instruction during a typical school year. The goal of the
book is to help school leaders and teachers find ways, amongst
current local testing practices, to cut back, improve their
instruction and the educational experiences of their students.
