The concept and results of achievement testing are the subject of serious conversation for many Americans – from educators to legislators. However, few teachers and parents view such testing as an integral part of teaching and learning. Testing standards of key education organizations and opinions of concerned citizens may be fleeting guides. The history of testing, the process for developing a formal test, testing abuse, misuse, and limitations are not widely known or understood even though we realize that testing is critical and here to stay. Achievement Testing explains the complicated concepts in a clear and user-friendly way to beginning teachers and students, as well as to experienced teachers who are looking for guidance in the ever-changing educational landscape.

A playwright once said: “Man is born broken; he lives by mending; the grace of God is glue.” With this thought in mind, you are invited to join me on an analytical pilgrimage through Glissandos of Love. This is a collection of my work born out of experiential knowledge of biblical truths, a love for man with all his brokenness, and a realization that as stewards of God’s creation, we are bonded together with the glue of His love and unmerited favor. If you seek love, inspiration, drama, or communion with nature, my hope is you will find it contained within these pages. And if perchance your pilgrimage causes you to take an inward and outward look, or merely provides you with a few moments of pleasurable reading, then I am twice blessed! ―Joan Elizabeth Baker, Author, Glissandos of Love
