Sinopsis

Testing Impact Review provides a critical examination of standardized testing's effects on education, going beyond simple evaluations to explore its complex relationship with teaching and accountability. It addresses how these tests influence curriculum design, teaching methodologies, and student motivation.

The book highlights the challenges of test validity, questioning if assessments accurately reflect knowledge and skills across diverse learning styles and socioeconomic backgrounds. It also considers institutional accountability, examining how schools are evaluated based on test scores and the impact on resource allocation and teacher evaluations.

The book argues that over-reliance on standardized testing can narrow the curriculum, undermining creativity and critical thinking. It explores the historical context of testing, its role in accountability, and the importance of understanding basic statistical concepts to grasp discussions on test reliability and validity.

By blending quantitative and qualitative research, including statistical analyses, case studies, and surveys, Testing Impact Review offers a comprehensive perspective.

The book progresses by first introducing the history and theory behind standardized testing, then presents original research analyzing the correlation between test scores and student success measures. Subsequent chapters explore the impact of testing on curriculum, teaching, and student motivation, concluding with alternative assessment models and policy recommendations. This approach allows for a thorough understanding of the topic and promotes a balanced and equitable approach to educational evaluation.

A Vindication of the Rights of...

Mary Wollstonecraft

'Strengthen the female mind by enlarging it, and there will be an end to blind obedience.'

A compelling call for women's equality in reason, education and rights, A Vindication of the Rights of Woman is one of the earliest works of feminist philosophy – and is still widely read to this day.

First published in 1792, Wollstonecraft's groundbreaking essay, written against the tumultuous backdrop of the French revolution, was an immediate success. Challenging the idea that women are inferior to men, Wollstonecraft argued that women deserved the same access to education, and the chance to develop as independent individuals. Blending Enlightenment ideals with sharp social critique, this pioneering work laid the foundation for modern feminist thought, provocatively – and successfully – defying gender norms in the eighteenth century.
Mary Wollstonecraft (1759 – 1797) was an English writer, philosopher and women's rights advocate. A bold voice in the Age of Enlightenment, she argued that men and women ought to be treated as rational human beings, with equal educational rights and opportunities, laying the groundwork of modern feminism. Wollstonecraft is the mother of acclaimed author, Mary Shelley.

Princes in the Tower The: The...

Editors Charles River

When England’s King Edward IV fell ill at Easter 1483 after coming back from a fishing trip and died shortly after on April 9, it threw a country that had already suffered a series of wars into a state of chaos. What exactly killed him is unclear, and though some people would later speculate that he had been poisoned, there is every reason to believe that he died of natural causes. Disease was common in medieval England, and doctors lacked much of the medical knowledge now taken for granted. The king's spectacular lifestyle had taken its toll, and he was significantly overweight, so it seems the lifestyle which he thought he had earned as king, and which he used to remind everyone of his status, was probably his undoing.
Recognizing that death was coming, the 40-year-old Edward IV had tried to make arrangements for how the kingdom would be ruled during his son's minority. His aim was for Rivers to continue running the young king's household while Richard, Duke of Gloucester, became protector and took responsibility for running the country until Edward V was old enough to do so for himself. It was an arrangement designed to prevent any one person from gaining total authority during his son's childhood reign, and thus to protect the young king.
At first, everything seemed to be going smoothly, but behind the scenes Richard was scheming. As Edward V and his guardian Rivers were travelling toward London, Richard and his substantial military retinue met them on the road. After setting Rivers and another adviser at ease through a pleasant dinner on April 29, Richard showed his true colors the next day by taking them captive and taking control of the teenaged king. His justification was the old classic of protecting a king from evil advisers.
The chain of events also contributed to one of England’s most enduring mysteries, because Edward and Richard never emerged from the Tower of London.

Small but Important Riots - The...

Robert F. O’Neill

June 1863. The American Civil War was two years old, and the U.S. Army in Virginia was in chaos. Reeling after the recent defeat at Chancellorsville, the Federals, especially the Cavalry Corps, scrambled to regroup. Confederate general Robert E. Lee seized the moment to launch a second invasion of the North. At this critical moment, the much-maligned Federal cavalry stepped to center stage. 
 
 
 
Small but Important Riots is a tactical study of fighting from June 17 to 22, 1863, at Aldie, Middleburg, and Upperville, placed within the strategic context of the Gettysburg campaign. It is based on Robert O'Neill's thirty years of research and access to previously unpublished documents, which reveal startling new information. 
 
 
 
Since the fighting in Loudoun Valley of Virginia ended in June 1863, one perspective has prevailed—that Brigadier General Alfred Pleasonton, who commanded the Cavalry Corps, Army of the Potomac, disobeyed orders. According to published records, Pleasonton's superiors, including President Abraham Lincoln, Secretary of War Edwin Stanton, and army commander Joseph Hooker, ordered Pleasonton to search for General Robert E. Lee's Army of Northern Virginia during a critical stage of the Gettysburg campaign, and Pleasonton ignored their orders. Recently discovered documents prove otherwise.
