    Bring Out the Barf Bags

    Can we offer them less than our best?

    As the world leader in educational measurement and research, ETS knows why standardized testing is a critical component of true education reform.

    Tests are best viewed not as barriers, but rather as opportunities to demonstrate what our children know and what they can do. Tests are not problems; they can supply us with information to help solve problems in our schools. That's why they are valuable tools that will help us achieve our goal of academic succes for all students.

    The ultimate effect of clear standards, relevant curricula, well-trained educators,and valid assessments working in concert will be an upgraded education system, increased student achievement, closing of the achivement gap, and yes, assurance that no child is left behind.

    Kurt M. Landgraf, President and CEO
