Synopsis

Standardized Testing Effects explores the pervasive influence of standardized testing on education, questioning its accuracy as a measure of student learning. The book investigates whether these tests truly reflect academic achievement or incentivize "teaching to the test," potentially narrowing the curriculum. It also emphasizes the implications for educational equity, particularly concerning access to resources for marginalized students. One intriguing fact revealed is the historical evolution of these tests, tracing their origins to early 20th-century roots and their increasing prominence in accountability systems. The book argues that while standardized tests provide some data, their overuse can detrimentally impact educational quality. It challenges the notion that these tests are unbiased measures, advocating for a more holistic assessment approach. The analysis progresses systematically, beginning with key concepts like test validity and fairness. Subsequent sections delve into impacts on curriculum, student motivation, and accountability systems, culminating in alternative assessment approaches and policy recommendations, providing a nuanced and comprehensive understanding of standardized testing effects.

Reclaim - understanding complex...

Dr. Ahona Guha

The relationship between trauma and mental health is becoming better recognized, but survivors and professionals alike remain confused about how best to understand and treat it. In Reclaim, through a series of case studies and expert analysis, Dr. Ahona Guha explores complex traumas, how survivors can recover and heal, and the nature of those who abuse. She shines a light on the "difficult" trauma victims that society often ignores, and tackles vital questions such as, "Why are psychological abuse and coercive control so difficult to spot?" and "Why do some people harm others, and how do we protect ourselves from them?" 
 
 
 
As a clinical and forensic psychologist, Dr. Guha has had extensive experience in working with those who perpetrate harm—including stalkers, sex offenders, violent offenders, and those who threaten, bully, and harass—and she has a deep understanding of the psychological and social factors that cause people to abuse others. In turn, her clinical work in the trauma treatment field has led her to recognize the enormous impacts of complex trauma, and the failures of systems when working with those who have been victimized. 
 
 
 
By emphasizing compassion above all, Dr. Guha calls for us to become better informed about perpetrators and the needs of victims, so we might reclaim a safer, healthier society for everyone.
