[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Define what you mean by "teach to the test." We all have to use the standards as our guide to instruction. If the standard says something like "students will be able to add 2-digit numbers," I can't just say, "Nah, I'm only going to teach adding 1-digit numbers." Are you asking if there are schools that focus on deeper problem solving and critical thinking and more authentic learning? Are you asking if there are schools that are concerned about more than a passing SOL grade? Are you asking if there are schools that don't drill the kids with practice test questions and packets? [/quote] Yes! Those are the questions I am asking.[/quote]
