Reviews

Arlo Kempf's The Pedagogy of Standardized Testing is a tour de force, performing a tremendous service to education scholars and practitioners alike. As opt-out movements led by parents, students, and teachers now gather momentum across both the United States and Canada, Kempf's book offers a handbook for resistance and change. The Pedagogy of Standardized Testing combines a detailed and informed review of the literature on standardized testing with strong empirical evidence. It includes rich and engaging anecdotes that not only bring the material to life but also help educators and policymakers see and understand the damage that test-oriented teaching and learning has wrought on schools. With this work, Kempf joins the ranks of leading education scholars and activists working to rescue our schools from the neoliberal reform juggernaut. - Joel Westheimer, University Research Chair in Democracy, University of Ottawa, Canada; Education columnist, CBC Radio
