'There is a great need for this book!'-Mary Allan, 2004 California Teacher of the YearSometimes tests prove very little and somebody gets left behind even when they’rethinking.Since standardized testing became a priority for schools, nine-year-old JefferyTaylor’s academic life has become pure torture. He suffers from a condition called testanxiety: when he takes a test, his stomach aches, his eyes hurt, he feels like his headis going to blow up, and, at times, he visibly trembles.Jeff’s active imagination hasn’t helped his success at school either-especially if he’sdrawing when he’s supposed to be working on other subjects. But schoolwork is nothis only problem. His classmate, Matt Huggins, is a real pest, and Jeff and his bestfriend, Terry, are growing apart. But Jeff is delighted when he meets a new friend whohelps him to face his academic challenges.Testing is a tremendous issue in schools today. It can have a lasting effect on fundingas schools balance the need to meet accountability standards with the desire toprovide learning to students. But most importantly, it can result in test anxiety whichhas a lasting effect on children. In Nobody Left Behind, author Deanna Enos usesstorytelling as an example of how to begin a dialogue between children, teachers, andparents concerning this important subject.* Discussion Questions* Activities for Art and Writing* Test Taker Tips
