Current STANDARDIZED TESTING BILL OF RIGHTS
High-quality tests that accurately assess student learning and help teachers understand how to improve instruction are an essential part of an excellent education. But too many students are spending too many hours on ineffective test prep drills and low quality tests.
We believe standardized tests should be in service of instruction, not vice versa. Tests should be fair, reliable, relevant, and aligned to high-quality standards, and students must have the resources and supports they need to learn and thrive.

... Have student learning assessed based on an array of measures.
