Nationally Normed Elementary Achievement Testing in America's Public Schools:
How All Fifty States are Above the National Average
John J. Cannell
Vitamin D Council
Editors' note:
I noticed recently that the first of John J. Cannell's two classic "Lake Wobegon Effect" books was no longer available in bookstores, on the internet, ...anywhere. So, I asked Dr. Cannell to send us a copy, scanned it, and here it is:
Nationally Normed Elementary Achievement Testing in America's Public Schools: How All Fifty States are Above the National Average
Apparently, Dr. Cannell submitted a copy of his second book on educational testing to ERIC, and here it is: How Public Educators Cheat on Standardized Achievement Tests: The "Lake Wobegon" Report
More on the Lake Wobegon Effect Scandal can be found in the Nonpartisan Education Review's Special Section: The Lake Wobegon Effect: Twenty Years Later
