This annotated bibliography consists of summaries for three sources related to standardized testing. The first source discusses the pros and cons of standardized testing, noting that it can be used to hold teachers and schools accountable but only evaluates individual performance. The second source explains that standardized tests do not fully measure educational quality and that their promises are not possible for all students. The third source indicates that the article will discuss the expansion of standardized testing to special needs and American Indian students.

This article focuses on the pros and cons of standardized testing. Some of the Pro's that were touched
on were that standardized testing holds teachers and schools accountable. It also states that it is a
good tool to compare different schools in different states, and districts to compare the student
growth. Unfortunately not everyone agrees with this. Some Con's were that the standardized testing
only evaluates an individual's performance.

6. Annotated Reflection
After finishing my annotated bibliography I thought finding sources was the hardest thing ever
until, I started comparing the sources I already had. From the comparisons I made it seemed easier

workshop that helped me understand that I had no idea how to cite correctly. Most of my citation
had no page numbers or periods in the wrong place. After going through the paper many times using
Hack and Summers I was able to correct most problems I found. The Literature Review taught me
how to find like ideas in research while also finding opposing ideas. At the end of each comparison
and difference I made a statement of relevance to prove my research fit
