If you want less testing and more learning, tell your US Senatorstoday.
This is a critical moment for the fight against test misuse and overuse in our nation's public schools. Congress is currently debating whether to reduce federal testing mandates from annually in grades three through eight to once each in elementary and middle school (plus once in high school). That fundamental shift would allow states and districts to dramatically cut back testing.
The Senate education committee will debate a rewrite of the Elementary and Secondary Education Act (also known as NCLB) the week of April 13. To win their votes for assessment reform, contact your Senators right now.
Urge your Senators to support a reduction in standardized testing to once each in elementary, middle and high schools, while ending punitive sanctions on schools and teachers. Click here to send your letter.
Please act now!
Thank you,
