Standardized, the movie: Join us in Seattle for a viewing and discussion
For decades, standardized testing has been a part of public education. Within the last ten years, however, education reform has promoted even more testing. Test scores, mistakenly viewed as effective assessments of student ability and teacher/school effectiveness, are anything but. STANDARDIZED sheds light on the invalid nature of these tests, the terrible consequences of high-stakes testing, and the big money that’s involved.
Our students now receive hours of standardized testing from the MAP test to the MSP and soon more testing related to the Common Core Standards.
Join us on May 14th at 6:30 PM to view the film “Standardized” and participate in an informal panel discussion.
This event is free to all. Parents, students, teachers and concerned citizens are invited.
Location: Northwest Film Forum, at 1515 12th Ave, Seattle, 98122 in the Capitol Hill area.
To RSVP, please send a short message to seattled@icloud.com.
This movie is sponsored by Seattle Education and Parents Across America, Seattle.
