Some ten years from today, American schools have tried every possible education fad. Common national standards, year-round schools, takeover of school boards, and even the super-qualified teacher program have failed to improve low U.S. achievement on international assessments. That all changes when Grant and Jennifer Wilson, both Stanford Ph.D. graduates, create what they believe are the perfect tests. The Venus Assessment System, the first national tests in U.S. history, flip American education on its ear, making U.S. students number one in the world in math and science. But then Jennifer Wilson discovers a secret list of names, students who are exceptions to the high-stakes consequences of the test. So secret that some people are willing to kill for it. With a tremendous blending of suspense tied to realistic future events, The Perfect Test will appeal to readers of all types, from educators and parents to simply anyone who loves a great, page-turner. As writer Paul Baker from the University of Wisconsin says, Like The Name of the Rose and The Da Vinci Code, this story grabs the reader and won't let go.  At a moment of national testing madness, the [Perfect Test] story-line was both fun and gripping. And like all good mystery/science fiction, educational too. I won't give away the ending.  Deborah Meier, New York University: teacher, writer, and public activist. Author of In Schools We Trust and Many Children Left Behind Ron Dietel's The Perfect Test reads like a Stephen King novel. A perfect blend of mystery, action and constant surprises, nicely intertwined in a future world of national high-stakes tests. You won't be able to stop reading it.  Jim Kohlmoos, President, Knowledge Alliance: Research to Action in Education Ready for a break, for a romp? Pick up Ronald Dietel's biting spoof, The Perfect Test. It's a dystopian vision of a world gone crazy, a science fiction portrait of the future that often comes wickedly close to where we are now. John Merrow, President, Learning Matters

Als het over taboes in onderwijs ging, stond het thema ‘centrale toetsen’ lange tijd steevast op nummer één. Het haalde niet altijd een diepgaand discours, want er waren te veel hardnekkige drempels om te overbruggen. Zo waren argumenten als het gevaar voor ‘teaching to the test’, ‘momentopnames’ en ‘staatspedagogiek’ veelgehoorde argumenten om centrale toetsen in te voeren.Met dit themanummer wil de redactie van ‘Beleid voeren in het onderwijs’ bijdragen aan het debat in de aanloop van het gebruik van Vlaamse, gevalideerde, gestandaardiseerde en genormeerde toetsen. Het themanummer wil niet polemiseren of sturend opiniëren, maar elementen en stemmen in het debat brengen en daar waar mogelijk onderbouwde antwoorden geven op de eerder vermelde drempels in de discussie. We vertrekken van de vraag: ‘Waar willen en kunnen we naartoe met de inbreng van Vlaamse toetsen in de evaluatiepraktijk?’. Voor antwoorden op deze vraag konden we een beroep doen op enkele experten en op stemmen van het onderwijsveld zelf.
