Measuring the value and implications of standardized tests

Over the last 20 years, education experts have increasingly questioned whether standardized tests are the best way to measure how students perform — with many colleges and universities implementing "test-optional" admission policies. Today on Created Equal, we speak with education researcher Elaine Allensworth about America's affinity for test culture and the shortcomings that come with it.

Hosted by Stephen Henderson, Created Equal is about the promise of opportunity and the challenge of inequality from the city that built America — Detroit.
