With assessment tests, the stakes are high for testers and testees Education 2000: Reforming Schools for a New Century Sunday, August 27, 2000 By Rachel Smolkin, Post-Gazette National Bureau Armed only with No. 2 pencils and fact-soaked brains, students plot their futures and those of their schools as they struggle to answer standardized test questions about the clash of church and state in the Byzantine Empire, the cause of the Panic of 1819 and the range of a function given an algebraic domain. These are sample questions in a new breed of exams the so-called "high-stakes tests" that are being used more and more in states across the country in an effort to prove that teachers are teaching and students are learning. Related story: Pennsylvania's tests growing teeth And if they're not, there are consequences. While the full consequences of these high-stakes tests won't be known for some years, in most states they now determine whether a student advances to the next grade or graduates from high school; whether a teacher or principal keeps a job or merits bonus pay; whether a school is praised or punished by a state takeover. As deadlines for imposing penalties get closer, several state education officials already are considering changes because they're concerned that students will be punished for the failings of their schools or the improper use of tests.
