EQANO

[Elementary Educators @ETFOeducators]

ETFO has continually expressed concerns about the new experimental digital EQAO assessment for Grades 3 and 6. And behold the platform is still down. Two days with technical difficulties. Wasting resources & time and further adding to the stress and anxiety of all in #onted

[Elementary Educators @ETFOeducators]

💥 TAKE ACTION:
Join us to tell the Minister of #onted to stop standardized, digital testing of children. We should be focused on the well-being and mental health of students, not adding #EQAO related anxiety and stress.

“Now would be a good time to get rid of all #EQAO tests. They’ve been cancelled before; the world didn't collapse. This is a waste of govt money & a waste of time,” said ⁦⁦@etfopresident⁩. #onted

My new research paper for @JournalEdChange, open access, concludes that Ontario's @EQAO test "is now an educationally ineffective and systemically incoherent anachronism". https://t.co/OeVsfDmsmE @DianeRavitch @MichaelFullan1 @pasi_sahlberg @etfopresident @otffeo @CarolCampbell4

Neither of my children sat EQAO. When it started DD was in grade 3. I kept her home. The testing lasted a week. Ridiculous. That was that. They both had to do Grade 10 Literacy to graduate, but seriously, if you're not literate in Grade 10, how does the test help? no one noticed?

The results are in, & they’re great...

Proud of my boy today, who, back in June, refused to be a child labourer in @FordNation’s cynical political machine.

Mandatory math tests for new teachers don't add up, critics say https://t.co/sUdaXHbhBb

Idea #3 for the government.

Eliminate #EQAO and all of the bureaucracy attached to EQAO, then invest that $100 million directly into classrooms every year!

Isn't it time for real talk about Ontario's test-driven assessments with EQAO? Testing that works for children is testing that is meaningful, measures daily progress, and is designed by educators! #onpoli https://t.co/kwbWNxdMXn #ONTed

Based on this feedback alone the government could shut down #EQAO and safe tax payers tens of millions! ⁦@ETFOeducators⁩ #ETFOstrong #NoEQAO

[Catherine Henderson @RecipeObsession]

I opted my 5 kids out of this politically motivated exercise from time 1st intro'd. Is also unfair to spec. ed students who working below grade level but are required to write a Grade-level test. Very damaging.

@LisaThompsonMPP mentioned that some parents don't like #EQAO. Will those parents be able to opt out of the new "broader and stronger" EQAO?
