Standards! Testing! And All That Jazz!: A Real Conversation
2006
Overview
\"Dr. Weiss, we would like you to come talk with our high school English and social studies teachers about books that might appeal to our students. Michael Winerip in an article, \"Teaching and a Law That Dismisses Them,\" (New York Times, July 12, 2006), states: A final concern with the federal law is that it is so driven by state testing that there's too much time devoted to test prep, too much time spent drilling facts for survey courses, and not enough emphasis on finding something children will fall in love with for a lifetime-the Civil War, repairing engines, science research, playing the trumpet. Why not have reading groups, letting students choose books to match their different interests, abilities and needs? A Thematic Approach I've organized this presentation of good books according to themes, suggested topics worthy of consideration.
