[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]And so it continues. The schools with great teachers will develop great assessments that truly measure learning that is well aligned. The less supported teachers, ones with less experience, and the ones in schools where they are just hanging on for dear life are not going to have exams, or the ones they have will not be very good. And to answer 6:54- if MCPS does away with exam grading and exam timing, in essence they are getting rid of exams. Stating that they will instead be doing regular projects, portfolios or other measures is a slap in the face to teachers who teach higher level kids who need background knowledge mastery. [/quote] I don't understand why projects, portfolios, and other measures (including tests) are a slap in the face who teach higher-level kids who need background knowledge mastery. Are two-hour district-wide final exams the only way to ensure background knowledge mastery?[/quote]
