[quote=Anonymous][quote]The smart teachers out there know this and as a result they aren't afraid of standardized testing.[/quote] Most teachers are not afraid of standardized testing per se. They are afraid of poor standardized testing that does not measure what it purports to measure or that measures things that are cognitively inappropriate or just plain unimportant. They are also afraid for their SN students because the testing is not always valid for them. They are also afraid that those tests that are not valid are going to be used to fire them. Smart teachers are some of the ones who are most afraid of this. I'm not sure what dumb teachers are afraid of . . . Smart parents are worried about the focus of instruction and the hours spent on these tests. For good reason.[/quote]
