About this book
Reviews
“The book may present new ideas of testing and learning to a broad US-based audience of educational stakeholders. Scholars with an interest in pedagogy and educational testing in the US may also find the book informative. … Gordon’s book provides an insightful discussion of the myriad of considerations for valid and reliable large-scale testing, particularly when questioning whether the assessment practices of today are appropriate for building learning to meet the societal demands of tomorrow.” (Anna Fletcher, Studies in Continuing Education, September, 2017)
"Gordon and Rajagopalan offer a cogent and compelling analysis of educational testing today and tomorrow. They show how over-emphasis on accountability has distorted teaching and learning, how educational goals are changing, and how emergent technologies can enable fundamentally different kinds of assessments to truly support the development of all students to their fullest potential. Once in a great while, a book is written that simply must be read. This is such a book. " - Edward Haertel, Jacks Family Professor Emeritus of Education, Graduate School of Education, Stanford University, USA"In The Testing and Learning Revolution, Gordon and Rajagopalan and their contributors brilliantly remind us of a time when the three major components of an educational system teaching, learning, and assessment were the primary responsibility of educators, not politicians or the federal government. " - Gerunda B. Hughes, Professor and Director, Office of Institutional Assessment and Evaluation, Office of the Provost, Howard University, USA
