RESOLUTION ON HIGH-STAKES TESTING
This resolution is modeled on the
resolution passed by more than more than 360 Texas school boards as of April 23, 2012. It was written by Advancement Project; Asian American Legal Defense and Education Fund; FairTest; Forum for Education and Democracy; MecklenburgACTS; Deborah Meier; NAACP Legal Defense and Educational Fund, Inc.; National Education Association; New York Performance Standards Consortium; Tracy Novick; Parents Across America; Parents United for Responsible Education-Chicago; Diane Ravitch; Race to Nowhere; Time Out From Testing; and United Church of Christ Justice and Witness Ministries.
We encourage organizations and individuals to publicly endorse it (see below). Organizations should modify it as needed for their local circumstances while also endorsing this national version.
That's text to the introduction on the of one of the most important grassroots initiatives in recent years. It stems from the actions first of the Texas Commissioner of public education, then supported by school boards across the Lone Star state, to push back about the insanity of the testing that is devouring American public education.
Below the fold I will put the text of the resolution itself.
It is important.
I encourage you to the National Resolution on High-Stakes Testing and then sign the petition.
