Groups seek exam changes
The Associated Press
WASHINGTON—Leaders of more than four dozen national education, parent and civil rights groups yesterday said that standardized, multiple-choice tests should no longer be used to measure student performance.
Those tests should be replaced with "performance-based assessments" that provide educationally useful information.
In their "Statement on Genuine Accountability," the leaders urged President Bush and the country's governors to focus on ways to improve assessment of student performance in school.
"The testing craze has damaged the quality of our schools," said Monte Neill, associate director of FairTest.
Gregory Anrig, president of the Educational Testing Service, the Princeton, N.J., firm that produces several popular tests for college-prep students, said he disagreed with the "instant rejection of multiple-choice tests."
"They remain a valid, efficient and inexpensive means to measure certain important aspects of student movement," he said in a statement.
Barbara Willer of the National Association for the Education of Young Children said better options than standardized tests included teacher observation, portfolios of student work, and performances and exhibitions.

Dunne, 59, of Garden City. N.Y., has a sparse background on civil
rights and consistently received low ratings from the New York Civil Liberties Union for votes cast while in the state Senate.
Dunne has the backing of Rep.
