[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]MD officials are admitting that they rushed into a curriculum so fast that they did not have a chance to modify the tests to gauge if the children were successful in learning what they were taught. The new curriculum is unproven, and now MD educators don't think their own tests are valid points of measurements to gauge if the curriculum is successful.[/quote] No, this is inaccurate. Maryland (along with most other states) has switched to the Common Core. The MSAs were not designed for the Common Core. There are tests that are designed for the Common Core, which Maryland will start using soon. Starr wanted to stop using the MSAs, which were not designed for the Common Core, but was not allowed to.[/quote] Who didn't allow it? I'm sincerely curious not being antagonistic. And I agree - we are not the only district or state dealing with the switch to Common Core. I hear comments from my friends in NY state as well.[/quote]
