[quote=Anonymous]http://www.dcurbanmom.com/jforum/posts/reply/150/370457.page ANd here's a teacher reporting on how inappropriate Smarter Balanced is: [b]Pilot tests were not appropriate for students’ age levels[/b] Author: Susan Hersh, media specialist | State: WI | Test: Smarter Balanced - pilot | Date: April 3 at 5:53 pm ET After administering the language arts and math pilot tests for smarter balanced, teachers gave me their feedback. The tests were extremely time consuming; some students were sitting for over two hours. The structure and content of the test were not age appropriate. Teachers found the level of student frustration to be very high–st[b]udents were actually angry and acting out during the testing sessions[/b]. S[b]tudents were giving up [/b]on questions based on the lengthy reading passages presented–[b]even strong readers. One teacher described the testing sessions as ‘child abuse.’ [/b][/quote]
