Author Rick Wormeli, a veteran educator and award-winning teacher, argues that our current educational system is failing our students. He cites overwhelming evidence that standardized testing is not an accurate measure of student learning, and that it actually undermines true education by narrowing the curriculum, encouraging rote memorization, and creating a culture of fear and anxiety among students.

Beyond Measure provides a comprehensive look at the problems with our current testing culture and offers practical solutions for creating a more equitable and effective educational system. Wormeli advocates for a holistic approach to student assessment that focuses on developing critical thinking skills, problem-solving abilities, and creativity. He also calls for a shift away from standardized testing towards more authentic and meaningful ways of measuring student progress.

Beyond Measure is a must-read for educators, parents, and anyone who cares about the future of our students. It is a powerful and persuasive call to action that will inspire readers to challenge the status quo and work towards creating a more just and equitable educational system.
