Description
Essay Question (approximately 2-4 double spaced pages) Some important reminders: make sure to answer the question; specificity, depth of thought, and clarity of expression are important; and refer to specific examples and evidence from readings and discussions. You may use other course readings as needed. Give page numbers in parentheses in the text. For example: (Perlstein, p. 99). Select three different policies, reforms, and/or practices described in Tested that originated at different levels of (or places in) the educational system. Describe the basic characteristics/requirements of each of these policies/reforms/practices. Then, using examples, explain its implementation as well as its consequences and outcomes. Did the point of origin matter? Why or why not? Did this policy or practice benefit children and help their learning? Why or why not? How do you know?
