Title: Uprising against high-sakes testing

My Sunday morning listen. It’s an exhortation piece, but has some history and provides some ideas.

 

How the MAP died in Seattle and the birth of the Opt-Out movement.

The hypothermia illustration at 10:30 is one that I’m going to steal.

 

Often that’s the end, and people don’t discuss what comes after the tests.

At 14 minutes in, Hagopain discusses the authentic assessments.

Garfield started a partnership with the NY Consortium for Performance Assessment.

"More Than a Score" TEDx Talk: Jesse Hagopian on the uprising against high-stakes testing and for a meaningful education

By Jesse Hagopian

 

I recently gave this talk [ https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gL64chNiuJQ&app=desktop ] titled, "More Than a Score," for the TEDx  Rainer event at Seattle's McCaw Hall theater.  In this talk I advocate for the great uprising against reducing our children to a test score and I make an argument to opt in to authentic assessments-not only because it will better engage students, but also because the future of our society and planet depend on it.

Jesse Hagopian is a high school history teacher and associate editor for Rethinking Schools magazine.  Jesse is the editor of, More Than a Score: The New Uprising Against High-Stakes Testing.  Follow him on his blog, IAmAnEducator.com or on twitter, @jessedhagopian
