The teachers described offer their students an invitation to enter the realm of learning expectantly. Through their words, we visualize the educational scaffolding process, as students foster a love and an appreciation of critical thinking that promises to remain long after the last test question has been answered. Best practices emerge and are shared with the reader. Reflective questions and commentaries provide educators an opportunity to investigate their own philosophies of accountability testing and its place in the classroom. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eThis study offers the support and guidelines necessary to break the cycle of \"teaching to the test.\" Let each educator teach so that every child can become an engaged learner, an explorer, an individual who recognizes and respects the opportunities available from gaining a real education that is not merely a cookie-cutter mantra.\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eTerri Hebert\u003c\/b\u003e is Assistant Professor at the University of Central Arkansas. \u003cb\u003eSherry Durham\u003c\/b\u003e is Associate Director of Special Education for the Lufkin Independent School District in Lufkin, Texas.\u003c\/p\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 132\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.5 x 8.2 x 5.4 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e October 16, 2008\u003c\/div\u003e\n            ","brand":"BooksCloud","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47883682382045,"sku":"9781578868810","price":71.83,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0811\/9867\/8237\/files\/6YG0d-KKMH9781578868810.webp?v=1778013205","url":"https:\/\/handfulofbooks.com\/products\/high-stakes-teaching-practices-that-improve-student-learning-paperback","provider":"Handful of Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
