Murphy concluded her interview. Asked what they want in a superintendent. @GovernorKayIvey responded: we need to get the assessment piece right. And we need our board to commit to a fully-empowered superintendent. #ALBOE

Q5 (re high standards, common core): Murphy said good standards shouldn't be rejected just because they're under the common core label. Points out that #ALBOE appoints course of study committees and sets standards.

[Dana Jacobson, NBCT @al_toy2017]

Q: Standards. We should not reject standards that make sense just because they are under Common Core. @DrKathyMurphy believes in rigorous standards and in local control. She says we must look at the courses of study every year - not just every six years! #ALBOE @AlabamaDeptofEd

[AlabamaSchoolBoards @AlaSchoolBoards]

Common core standards. Don’t think should reject standards they make sense just because included in “common core” #alboe

[Alabama GRIT @AlabamaGRIT]

Superintendent Candidate Mackey: Need to honor the Math Course of Study Committee. We agree. #alboe https://t.co/jjQN1EzKmg

[Trisha Powell Crain @Trish_Crain]

Q5: What is your opinion of common core? Remain, be changed, or be replaced? Mackey giving a brief overview, admits that ALCCRS and common core are "pretty much the same thing." #ALBOE

Details: How did Alabama earn a 'C' on its first-ever report card? https://t.co/ioWiVAwYCu #aledchat

[Trisha Powell Crain @Trish_Crain]

The state of Alabama's schools earned a C. #ALBOE

[Trisha Powell Crain @Trish_Crain]

Here it is: https://t.co/ImsoCsvq8d. #ALBOE

Morton: this report card is a real source of pride. All subpopulations will be shown on every school and district report card (if there are 20 students in the subpopulation). #ALBOE

[Trisha Powell Crain @Trish_Crain]

Here's info on how the grade was calculated. https://t.co/AWZZ9a21Fs #ALBOE

[Trisha Powell Crain @Trish_Crain]

Editorial comment: this dashboard is light-years beyond anything @AlabamaDeptofEd has published before. #ALBOE

[Trisha Powell Crain @Trish_Crain]

Being walked through the prototype of the state report card. #ALBOE

[Trisha Powell Crain @Trish_Crain]

Morton: Alabama report card law passed 89-5 in the House and 33-0 in the Senate. It’s a bipartisan law. Passed in 2012. #ALBOE

[Trisha Powell Crain @Trish_Crain]

Morton: there are 2 laws governing the report card. Federal (ESSA) and state. Need to have only 1 report card. #ALBOE

[Trisha Powell Crain @Trish_Crain]

Morton now presenting report card info. #ALBOE
