Limitations
"Teaching to the test" (focusing too much on standards resulting in students worrying more about what will be on the test rather than learning the content) (Wiliam, 2011)
Some assessments cover only a limited part of content that they are meant to cover (Wiliam, 2011)
Anxiety of relating content and assessment to required standards (Witte, 2012)
Sometimes viewed as only having a purpose/relation to common core standards (Witte, 2012)
