"There is a great need for this book!"
-Mary Allan, 2004 California Teacher of the Year
Sometimes tests prove very little and somebody gets left behind even when they're thinking.
Since standardized testing became a priority for schools, nine-year-old Jeffery Taylor's academic life has become pure torture. He suffers from a condition called test anxiety: when he takes a test, his stomach aches, his eyes hurt, he feels like his head is 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's drawing when he's supposed to be working on other subjects. But schoolwork is not his only problem. His classmate, Matt Huggins, is a real pest, and Jeff and his best friend, Terry, are growing apart. But Jeff is delighted when he meets a new friend who helps him to face his academic challenges.
Testing is a tremendous issue in schools today. It can have a lasting effect on funding as schools balance the need to meet accountability standards with the desire to provide learning to students. But most importantly, it can result in test anxiety which has a lasting effect on children. In Nobody Left Behind, author Deanna Enos uses storytelling as an example of how to begin a dialogue between children, teachers, and parents concerning this important subject.

Autoren-Porträt von Deanna Enos
Deanna Enos Author of Nobody Left Behind One Child's Story About Testing has been selling the book at county fairs this summer. She has reached many parents and teachers, who were excited to find it. The book is being offered in an online class through the University of San Diego called Valuing the Individual in a Test Focused Environment -EDU 548P. It is being taught with Alfie Kohn's Unconditional Teaching which is the theory and Nobody Left Behind One Child's Story About Testing is the practical.
California State University is recommending Nobody Left Behind One Child's Story About Testing to their student teachers as a must read book.
As the author, retired teacher and promoter of Nobody Left Behind One Child's Story About Testing, I think nothing more important than using this book to help the present schools in crisis. I have been thanked repeatedly for writing it, and that is most satisfying.
iUniverse did an excellent job of getting it together in a very professional manner that makes it easy to sell.
