End State Testing.
We want to work to end state-testing and start a conversation to find new ways to support more individualized ways of learning, and ways to analyze what has been learned.
Why is this important?
As our knowledge and research has evolved to show that learning is limited by "test-prep" and constrained by the curriculum of "what is on the test", we want to push for a change that will allow for more students to prosper. We want to encourage creativity as well as diverse learning for younger populations, and currently, that is not what is happening.
