SEA Calls for Elimination of the MAP Test in Seattle Schools
In a Seattle Educators’ Association (SEA) meeting last night, it was voted by the members to call for a replacement of the MAP test.
The resolution is as follows:
Whereas testing is not the primary purpose of education;
Whereas the MAP test and other tests increase student stress and anxiety and distract from real learning;
Whereas the MAP was brought into Seattle Schools under suspicious circumstances and conflicts of interest;
Whereas the SEA has always had the position of calling for funding to go to classroom and student needs first;
