Description

In many modern government literacy policies, accountability is driven by standardized test scores. This creates high-stakes consequences for schools and districts that struggle to meet rising performance levels. This book by Routledge examines the fundamental question of whose knowledge is actually used to frame these important literacy laws and policies. The authors, who are leading researchers from the U.S., U.K., Scotland, France, and Germany, address the global trend of ignoring professional expertise. The text explores how pseudo-science is increasingly becoming the basis for literacy policies and laws on a worldwide level. This work is an essential resource for those studying the relationship between research, expertise, and government policy in the field of literacy.
