Would you sign this?

by Chris Cerrone

Teachers and administrators across New York State were told to sign this “Confidentiality Agreement” before scoring the recent ELA and Math State Assessments.

Are the exams that are used to judge students, teachers, and schools top secret?

Should the public have the right to see the entire test?

State Education bureaucrats keep repeating the importance of the assessment to “inform instruction” for teachers and pinpoint “progress” for students; yet educators and parents will only be supplied with vague data reports months later.

Does Pearson, New York State’s testing contractor have more rights that the citizens of the Empire State?
