Description

In many modern educational systems, accountability is driven by standardized test scores. This creates high-stakes environments for schools and districts that struggle to meet rising performance standards. This book by Routledge examines the fundamental question of whose knowledge is used when framing these government literacy policies. The authors explore how expertise is often overlooked on a global scale, leading to a rise in policies and laws based on pseudo-science rather than proven research. By looking at the disconnect between policy and practice, this work provides a necessary perspective on how literacy standards are set and the impact they have on educational institutions. Written by a group of leading researchers from the U.S., U.K., Scotland, France, and Germany, this text offers a wide-ranging international view. It is an essential resource for those studying the intersection of government regulation, literacy education, and scientific expertise in the academic world.
