SPS teachers are planning to refuse to administer the standardized tests that are fully intertwined with CCSS. <br /><br />I've written about Common Core quite a bit here, but essentially it comes down to a room full of business people and politicians, funded by the Gates Foundation, with the audacity to tell professional teachers what, how, and when to teach certain things without allowing for any input or feedback from those teachers. CCSS have not even been field tested: it is simply the best-guesses of dilettantes who think they are experts by virtue of having been able to make some money. And standardized testing is at the core of it all.Teacher Tomhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14606781724784785338noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15932919.post-12008422572373848212014-02-28T12:56:16.578-08:002014-02-28T12:56:16.578-08:00Did you see this?

But your article talked about the standardized testing. The two are separate. The CCSS is about teaching, not testing.Evinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07192731916354461880noreply@blogger.com
