Abstract	The professional literature is filled with criticism of standardized testing, and the belief is that most teachers oppose standardized testing because it forces them to abandon creative lesson plans in exchange for test prep. However, a study of Arkansas teachers found that teachers also have positive views of testing. The teachers reported that tests provide useful data, that test help create a map for the year's instruction, that test-prep does not sap creativity, that Testing can lead to collaboration, and that Accountability is useful. (As Provided).
