And from Massachusetts....
The Boston Globe reports that educators and advocates like Pres. Obama's changes for the No Child Left Behind Act. Maybe they are good. Let's hope.
My concern is that Massachusetts continues to allow nonstandard accommodations (NSAs) on its state testing program, the MCAS. Thus, some students have the test read to them--and they 'pass' reading. Some use computers, and they 'pass' math. So long as tests continue to allow invalidating NSAs, it hardly matters what the policy is.
Check it out!
