Please help us document the impact of high stakes tests on students’ and others’ lives.

We are looking for teachers, parents, guidance counselors, school nurses, or anyone else who has firsthand experiences that can help us document as richly as possible the experience of high stakes testing in schools.
If you have stories you can share with us, we ask you to participate in a very short and completely anonymous survey. It should take about ten minutes – perhaps more if you have a lot to say.

Interested school personnel please go to:

Interested parents please go to:

If you know of anyone else who may have pertinent experience to contribute please direct them to these websites.

Thank you for your help,
