      Educational assessment has really lagged behind the times in the 21st century.

      Wow....amazing. And obviously "tests" of the wrong kind.
  • As a AP US History teacher I constantly find myself pitted in a struggle against content memorization versus using 21st century skills within the classroom

      I think this is the one of the challenges we hope to address in this course - do we see the challenge as an opportunity to change what we do, or do we feel like vicitims.

      I agree, it's that cross between covering the material versus really learning it, or in the case of history living it.
  • College Board recently changed their policy of letting students know what the topic of the DBQ would be, students going into the DBQ had no idea what it would be the day of the test students had to complete a DBQ on the Puritans, a subject last covered in 8th grade. I found myself asking how well students possibly could do on a question like this, a question which was covered before students were even accepted into the honors track

      This is the secrecy that Reeves talks about in the article we read yesterday. I wonder what the Board's rationale is for this decision. Clearly, a bunch of dusty academics feel they need to impose their outdated definition of learning on high school students.

  • Bring technology to every student, closing the digital divide needs to be a national goal, it can't be a program that waits five years. Forget about immigration, partisan divisions, tax policy, gays in the military, and healthcare, our national needs to make it a priority that by August every student will have access to technology and every teacher will get the training to use that technology effectively within the classroom.

      I am always amazed at how little our country cares about education. We focus too much on reacting to problems instead of attacking root causes. If we developed a world-class education system, we would be able to solve more of our problems, in better time.

      The reaction component is signifcant. I guess that reaction is easier than the problem solving but certainly not as effective.

  • Develop assessments that test the students ability to create authentic learning experiences that demonstrate their growth as an individual.

      So why don't we do this? THE TRUTH ABOUT TESTING will hopefully shed some light.

      Great challenge. I was thinking after my article review this morning about how this can be achieved in a national way. There must be a way to incorporate a measurement of authentic knowledge into the measurement of our school and student success. Unfortunately, it's not as easy as just creating test questions it would involve other means of data collection

      Nice outline of the challenges we face with developing skills and balancing requirements of assessment. It's our problem. So what will we do about it? Hopefully we'll develop some potential answers.
