New Jersey School News 8 years, 5 months agoThe NJ Dept of Education is frantically trying to sell the Common Core and PARCC testing. Each day, the number of parents inquiring about opting out and sending their opt out letters grows. The state is trying to play both sides up the middle.

Best Practices 8 years, 8 months agoWe are working on that in NY as well. Project based learning and portfolio assessment. I’ll ask Sue to share the Consortium’s Rubrics and their data (in terms of college retention, grad rate, etc.). Kids in portfolio schools in NY outperform kids from traditional schools. Go figure!

New Jersey School News 8 years, 8 months agoNow that I’m reading my previous post, Christie’s name isn’t Fukatardus Stupendus, although that fits too, it is Fukatardus Supremus. Maybe Arne Duncan should be Fukatardus Stupendus.

New Jersey School News 8 years, 9 months agoThe NJ Senate is hearing arguments regarding 2 year delay of stakes for PARCC and a call for the formation of a committee to look into the Common Core. It is not what we want, but it is a step in the right direction. They hope to vote before leaving for the summer. Even if the Senate approves the bill, we expect our Bully Governor Christie to…[Read more]

A two year moratorium on high stakes would buy you time to push back. As you said, not outright victory but an important pivot!
Good to know. Please do keep posting NJ news! Chris Christie is a bully.
