Measuring History complements the cases presented in Wise Social
Studies Practices (Yeager & Davis, 2005). Yeager and Davis
highlight the rich and ambitious teaching that can occur in the
broad context of state-level testing. In this book, the chapter
authors and I bring the particular state history tests more to the
fore and examine how teachers are responding to them. At the heart
of Measuring History are cases of classroom teachers in seven
states (Florida, Kentucky, Michigan, New York, Texas, Mississippi,
and Virginia) where new social studies standards and new, and
generally high-stakes, state-level history tests are prominent. In
these chapters, the authors describe and analyze the state's
testing efforts and how those efforts are being interpreted in the
context of classroom practice. The results both support and
challenge prevailing views on the efficacy of testing as a vehicle
for educational reform. Catherine Horn (University of Houston) and
I lay the groundwork for the case studies through a set of
introductory chapters that examine the current environment, the
research literature, and the technical qualities of history tests.
