I must confess--this type of rigorous talk gives me chills and takes me back to my youth--growing up in Communist Romania--where such language was on the lips of every man woman and child appearing in the media or doing any writing, in every classroom and in every work place--it had taken over EVERYTHING-- but the parents at home resisted and kids still got the cautioned truth. What will our children get? What can we still teach them if this is what public education has turned into??--Parents, are you even aware of the MASSIVE PROPAGANDA that is being spun in our public school web? 2015: Next Generation Assessment Implementation and Results How can districts prepare their students and teachers for the national consortias assessments this year? Efforts to align curriculum, instruction, and assessment with Common Core State Standards have intensified as the pressure escalates for states and districts that will take the new summative assessments this spring. Widespread unease persists: -Increased level of rigor, -New item types, -Unfamiliarity with format, and -Test administration scheduling -Further, the transition to online administration poses additional planning and technical challenges. Join our guests to better understand two approaches to these challenges—one in a Smarter Balanced Assessment Consortium state and one in a Partnership for Assessment of Readiness for College and Careers state. And learn how school and district leaders are preparing teachers and students to meet the challenges with confidence.
