This is a really interesting reference about standardized testing. It is very fact based and there is very little opinion. The different sections provide a history of standardized testing, a pros and cons list, different statistics related to testing in public schools, along with many other interesting resources. This is a really powerful resource that relates to a very prevalent issue in today's schools.
