We're so busy proving we're doing a good job, we don't have time to actually do a good job. It's a shame. And it needs to change. #JustLetUsTeach #TeachNotTest #MoreTeachingLessTesting #SupportPublicSchools #RespectOurExpertise #TBATs @piper4missouri @teka21bat @mrobmused

The amount of time spent on standardized testing is ridiculous. It's counterproductive. We should be spending our time on teaching & learning. Trouble is, tests are mandated from above. #MoreTeachingLessTesting #SupportPublicSchools #TBATs

Pres. @MelindaJPerson visited three public high schools that are part of the NY Performance Standards Consortium. These schools evaluate students using real-world skills instead of standardized tests, exemplifying many reccs from our #MoreTeachingLessTesting Task Force Report.

Although he is a computer scientist, @read_naveed said he'd rather keep state tests on paper for now.
βYou want to make sure the kids are understanding the material and not fighting the mechanism of testing.β

So, you got to ask yourself... if you can predict scores by just looking at housing stock, why waste time & money on testing? Or blame schools that don't have the same kind of resources that schools in better off neighborhoods have? #TBATs @alfiekohn #MoreTeachingLessTesting

Teachers know what they taught, and who got it and who needs more help to get it. It's immediate feedback. Standardized test scores don't come for months, most often after the students have moved on to the next grade. #TBATs #TeachNotTest #MoreTeachingLessTesting

Every kid is different, every class is different, so curriculum needs to be aligned to the kids in the room, not to the tests! Why can't policy makers get that? #TeachMoreTestLess #KidsAreNotStandardized #TBATs #MoreTeachingLessTesting #SupportPublicSchools

You can't measure the full scope of a child with a standardized test. And you shouldn't try. Or give test scores much credence. #TBATs #TeachNotTest #SupportPublicSchools #SchoolChoiceIsNoChoice #MoreTeachingLessTesting

Weβve been gathering standardized testing data for more than a decade and where has it gotten us? Now we just have more data. And in the process of focusing so much on data, weβve lost our focus on the whole child. @NYSUT #MoreTeachingLessTesting timesunion.com/education/artβ¦
