How standardized testing policy shapes teaching and ultimately affects adolescent
brain development, and what can be done to

At Re-Thinking Accountability, we utilize extensive research in developmental psychology to prove that the current structure of standardized testing policy in the US is detrimental to the development of higher-order, analytical thinking in adolescents.
Our aim is to use this proof to advocate for young people through policy change recommendations based on decades of scientific research.
