[quote=Anonymous]From the Maryland story: Weller said th[b]e union conducted a survey[/b] after hearing complaints about the tests, which were administered between September and November. It received responses from nearly 500 teachers. The survey found that [b]91 percent of responding kindergarten teachers do not believe that the assessments will help improve instruction and that 54 percent of them said it took more than 1 hour and 25 minutes to administer the tests to each student.[/b] “Kindergarten teachers statewide were frustrated,” Weller said. She was scheduled to present the unions’ findings to members of the Maryland State Board of Education during their meeting Tuesday. The survey also found that [b]78 percent of the teachers reported technology problems while administering the tests and 51 percent said there were “no or minimal accommodations” made for students in special education and students who are English-language learners.[/b][/quote]
