Episode #3 - A Super Important Conversation About Why State Testing Needs to Be Canceled This Year & Reevaluated
04/28/21 • 36 min
In this episode, I'm joined by Christina (@thedaringenglishteacher) and Emily (@readitwriteitlearnit) to talk about their social media campaign #CancelStateTesting2021 this year and the many reasons why. We talk about how inconsistent instruction has been this school year, how some students are STILL remote learning, equity issues involved with students testing at home via remote learning, students’ mental health mattering more than test scores, how standardized tests are racially biased and do not truly measure growth and knowledge, how they take away 20-25 hours of instructional time, AND how they take BILLIIONS OF DOLLARS away from school funding.
Listen as we discuss how their social media movement came to be, their impressive backgrounds, how others can help, and a bonus drop of wisdom for the rest of us hot mess teachers just trying to get through this testing season during a global pandemic!
