Chapter 3 outlines issues surrounding the testing mania that is currently sweeping our country. He asks readers to work through several test examples to demonstrate the trivial nature of high stakes tests and the difficulty of creating truly valid tests. One of the major points of the chapter is shifting our collective thinking in the world of education about what we value. He suggests that “In today’s world, it’s no longer how much you know that matters; it’s what you can do with what you know.” I think that this chapter does a lot of good helping me understand the way I would like to teach with different assesment than testing. I myself get anxious and do nad because of it during a test.
