Dear Friend:
Thanks to your activism, 2012 has been a great year for the growing national assessment reform movement. Now, FairTest needs your continued help to build greater momentum in 2013! Please help by Donating now.
FairTest has created a single page infographic highlighting some points from our What's Wrong with Standardized Testing Fact Sheet. See it and download a full sized printable PDF of it at http://fairtest.org/whats-wrong-standardized-tests-infographic
New FairTest fact sheet explains that the looming multi-state standardized tests are "vaporware"--still more hype than substance--and are unlikely to be much of an improvement over current tests. Many school infrastructures will not be able to handle the computer load, and the high stakes will continue to damage children, teachers and schools.
