[quote=Anonymous] It truly boggles the mind how any public school employee that approved the purchase of Benchmark materials is still employed. [quote]Matthew Burns, a University of Florida special education professor who conducted the first peer-reviewed study of the BAS, said that until he decided to try, the test had never been independently validated to see how closely its results aligned with other assessments of early reading. One of his studies showed that the BAS was able to distinguish between proficient and struggling readers only about half the time; the odds were little better than chance. [b]"So I could buy this test, train all my teachers to give it, take about 30 minutes per kid,” Burns said. “Or really just have a teacher flip a coin for every kid, and they'll get it right just as often."[/b] [/quote] https://www.apmreports.org/story/2023/12/11/benchmark-assessment-system-reading-test-often-wrong [/quote]
