NC Families for School Testing Reform
fewer tests – fairer tests – fruitful tests
You might remember taking standardized “bubble sheet” tests at school and think today’s testing is no big deal.
However, the current testing practices for North Carolina public schools are having a NEGATIVE impact on student learning.
The AMOUNT of testing has skyrocketed, taking away more and more instruction time.
Plus, much of the testing provides NO benefit to children – many scores are only used to rank school and teacher performance.
North Carolina children need focused, strategic assessment that gives MEANINGFUL feedback.
Children DO NOT need to study all year for end-of-grade tests that don’t help them grow.
We are working to improve testing practices for North Carolina schools . . . and YOU CAN HELP.
Listen to Suzanne Miller, founding member of NC Families for School Testing Reform, talk about excessive testing and how it affects kids & teachers:
