Description

Standardized tests have been historically critical for high school students’ admission into college. These admissions tests, the ACT and SAT, have a profound impact on the authenticity of students’ classroom experiences. I will explore the various short and long term effects of “teaching to the test” specifically in a high school environment, and the ways in which this focus impacts students’ authentic engagement with material.
