Description
Standardized testing has become increasingly prevalent in American public schools. This comes with potential drawbacks for teachers, schools, and students, particularly children from underprivileged backgrounds. The National Center for Fair & Opening Testing (FairTest), the only national organization solely focused on testing reform, aims to prevent the overuse and misuse of such testing in schools and in college admissions. With Corporation support, FairTest will continue to organize national, state, and local reform campaigns; educate the public about testing and testing alternatives; and provide training and advice to parents, educators, students, and grassroots and civil rights organizations about issues related to standardized testing.
