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.

The Three Colors of Complicity

Jemar Tisby

Compromise has three colors. 
The American church has a history of creating and maintaining racist ideas and practices. This audio original recording from NYT bestselling author Jemar Tisby is based on the themes introduced in The Color of Compromise but goes a step further, showing how compromise has three distinct colors: green, white, and red. Green represents the greed than accompanies support of racism. It is white, representing the white supremacy that views white people as inherently superior to other skin colors. And it is red, representing the blood that has been spilled--and continues to be shed--to fight against racism. Tisby offers a powerful challenge to avoid complicity with racism by taking a bold stand for racial justice, starting today.

Voices From The Ashes - The...

Davis Truman

Buried in the soil of Auschwitz lay fragments of voices the Nazis tried to silence forever. They belonged to the Sonderkommando, Jewish prisoners forced into the darkest role of all: to witness and endure the machinery of mass murder. Knowing they would not survive, some risked everything to leave behind their words, their truths, and their warnings for the future. 
Voices From The Ashes unveils these extraordinary clandestine writings, preserved against time and oblivion. With raw honesty and unbearable clarity, they recount not only the brutality of the camp but also the unbroken will to testify, an act of defiance stronger than death itself. 
Both harrowing and profoundly human, this book does more than preserve history—it restores the dignity of the silenced, carrying their words across generations. It is a testament to resilience, memory, and the unyielding demand that the world must never forget. 
Perfect for readers of Holocaust history, survivor testimony, and those drawn to the enduring power of the human spirit, Voices From The Ashes stands as both a memorial and a warning, an urgent reminder carved out of silence and buried in ashes.

Facing Down the Furies - Suicide...

Edith Hall

An award-winning classicist turns to Greek tragedies for the wisdom to understand the damage caused by suicide and help those who are contemplating suicide themselves 
 
In Sophocles’ tragedy Oedipus the Tyrant, a messenger arrives to report that Jocasta, queen of Thebes, has killed herself. To prepare listeners for this terrible news, he announces, “The tragedies that hurt the most are those that sufferers have chosen for themselves.” Edith Hall, whose own life and psyche have been shaped by such loss—her mother’s grandfather, mother, and first cousin all took their own lives—traces the philosophical arguments on suicide, from Plato and Aristotle to David Hume and Albert Camus. 
 
In this deeply personal story, Hall explores the psychological damage that suicide inflicts across generations, relating it to the ancient Greek idea of a family curse. She draws parallels between characters from Greek tragedy and her own relatives, including her great-grandfather, whose life and death bore similar motivations to Sophocles’ Ajax: both men were overwhelmed by shame and humiliation. 
 
Hall, haunted by her own periodic suicidal urges, shows how plays by Sophocles and other Greek dramatists helped her work through the loss of her grandmother and namesake Edith and understand her relationship with her own mother. The wisdom and solace found in the ancient tragedies, she argues, can help one choose survival over painful adversity and offer comfort to those who are tragically bereaved. 
 
Edith Hall is a professor in the Department of Classics and Ancient History at Durham University. She is the author of more than thirty books, including Aristotle’s Way: How Ancient Wisdom Can Change Your Life. She lives in Cambridgeshire, UK.
