author's desire is that each student gain knowledge of Shakespears work as well as develop an understanding of Renaissance life. Just as important is the interpersonal skills that can be developed through the group interaction incorporated into this unit. May this be a fulfilling and worthwhile venture.

Criticizes new classroom sound standard proposed by the American National Standards Institute that sets maximum background sound level at 35 decibels (described as "a whisper at 2 meters"). Argues that new standard is too costly for schools to implement, is not recommended
by the medical community, and cannot be achieved by construction industry. Calls for ANSI to withdraw proposed standard. Jenkins, Jayne M.; Todorovich, John R. (2002). Inclusion Style of Teaching: A Powerful Relationship with the National Standards. ERIC
Journal No. EJ648189. Retrieved September 29,2003 from EBSCOhost.com website: http://ezproxy.roosevelt.eduThe power of the inclusion style of teaching is in that learner performance can be assessed from the perspective of standards related to all three of the learning domains. It allows teachers to address diverse students' individual needs, which is particularly important in physical
education, where classes have significant discrepancies in abilities between students.Westerlund, Julie F.; West, Sandra S.(2001). The Use of the National Science Education Standards To Critique a Standardized High School

Presents a brief historical overview of standardized testing in science including its purpose, consequences, characteristics, and evaluation. Provides a critique that is unique in that this study used national science standards to evaluate a state-mandated standardized science test.

Examined data from several national testing programs to determine whether the change from paper-based administration to computer-based tests influences group differences in performance. Results from four college and graduate entrance
examinations and a professional licensing test show that African Americans and, to a lesser degree, Hispanics, appear to benefit from the shift.

Makes a case that the architects of national testing posited a measuring scale in which consecutive levels were separated by 2 years of learning under the influence of the "thought disorder" described by J. Michell, who claimed that psychological
measurement may be little more than numerical coding.Dorn, Sherman. (1998). The Political Legacy of School Accountability Systems. ERIC Journal No.ED426451. Retrieved
September 29,2003 from EBSCOhost.com website:http://ezproxy.roosevelt.edu
Recent battles over proposed national testing programs do not tell the important political story about high-stakes tests. An overview of the politics of school-accountability systems is offered in this World Wide Web journal article. Politically popular, school-
accountability systems in many states already revolve around statistical results of testing with high-stakes environments, meaning that the future of high-stakes tests does not depend on what happens in Washington. Rather, the existence of tests depends largely on the political culture of published test results. Most critics of high-stakes testing do not talk about that culture. They typically focus on the "practice legacy" of testing, and the ways in which testing creates perverse incentives against good teaching. More important may be the "political legacy," or how testing defines legitimate discussion about school politics. The consequence of statistical accountability
systems will be the narrowing of purpose for schools, impatience with reform, and the continuing erosion of political support for publicly funded schools. Dissent from the high-stakes accountability regime that has developed around standardized testing, including
proposals for professionalism and performance assessment, commonly fails to consider these political legacies. Alternatives to

An initiative of the federal government, the capacity of this testing program to test the diversity of school populations in Years 5 and 7 (with sampling in Year 3) is arguable. Three different theoretical frameworks - namely, critical theory, governmentality and performativity (epistemically in tension) - are used to 'read' these tests and their effects in order to distil an understanding of their rationale and effects. As a point of focus, an example from the most disadvantaged sector of society is used to illustrate concerns about the efficacy of these tests as a fair and just practice for a diverse Australia.
