Farley, Todd S.

Making the Grades. My Misadventures in the Standardized Testing Industry.

California, PoliPoint Press, 2009. 21cm x 13.6cm. xiii, 242 (7) pages. Original illustrated softcover. Excellent condition.

The No Child Left Behind Act uses the phrase scientifically-based research more than 100 times when discussing standardized testing, but Making the Grades raises serious questions about the validity of many large-scale assessments simply by describing one man’s career in the industry. This first-hand account of life in the testing business is alternately edifying and hilarious.
