My superintendent is right. Our students need and deserve every single second of valuable learning and engagement with their school community. State tests this year are another layer of trauma in a traumatic year. Cancel them. #overtestedOH
Common sense tells us all that this needs to happen. With the chaotic nature of the past year and the trauma that all of us have endured, the last thing we need kids & teachers worrying about is state tests with results that will prove nothing. Wellness needs to be our priority.
Thank you to sponsors @EricaCCrawley and @GayleManningOH and to @RepPhilRobinson & @JayEdwardsOhio for valuable amendments. I hope my Senator @HearcelCraig will support this bill that puts students first! #OvertestedOH #RedForEd
OEA Legislative Watch - House Passes Testing Reduction Act; House Bill 239 seeks to reduce the amount of time that students spend on tests. @OhioEA strongly supports #HB239 ➡️ https://t.co/NQ7QKlM3lY 🏫 📝 #OEA #strongpublicschools #ohioschools #testing #LegislativeWatch
I just wrote a letter: Urge Your Representative to Support HB 239 — the Testing Reduction Act . Write one here: https://t.co/IwNeMEESkm

Removing a test does not remove a requirement to teach content. It removes the sticks and carrots. We need #HB239. #OvertestedOH #OneChildhood
Kelli Repphun, @OHneweducators @OhioEA Member Ambassador and Rootstown EA VP on her why and #overtestedOH: “Our👏🏻 students 👏🏻 deserve 👏🏻 better! 👏🏻” #EducatorVoice2020 #StrongPublicSchools
We have a student who recently had surgery and missed school on her birthday, so we called her last week and the whole class wished her a happy birthday.
Can’t measure that on a standardized test, but I can guarantee they’ll all remember it for a long, long time.
As tension escalates in the Middle East, & American troops come under fire, the Ohio graduation component that seeks to force poor test takers into the military in order to get a diploma seems even more sinister. #OvertestedOH
This is *my* superintendent making me #reynproud. 😭 So grateful that he’s authentically in the fight to do what is right for students and families! ✊🏼 Legislators: We don’t need “competition.” We need equitable funding and an end to overtesting! #overtestedOH #ohiokidscantwait
It is our season to dictate the narrative. Legislators do not speak for us as educators. While we all work tirelessly to improve every day, it is time we recognize that our schools are more successful now than they have ever been in the history of this country. #fightforeducation
I’d give the state report card system an F. They’re based on Overtesting and are punitive while they obscure funding and opportunity inequities. Let’s stop perpetuating systems that reinforce inequity and start fairly funding our schools. #overtestedOH #OhioKidsCantWait
Yes they do. https://t.co/n9aFFBKwl5
Here in N. Ridgeville to meet with our Senator & Rep, @Manning_Nathan & @GayleManningOH b/c we're still concerned about the new Grad Requirement for its lack of viable non-tested pathways (& lack of meaning). #OvertestedOH
100% this. Accountability as it is can’t account for real innovation & problem solving skills and does nothing to solve the inequities created by funding that’s dictated by zip code. We can do better. We have to. #overtestedOH #OhioKidsCantWait
Our current state accountability systems have done a tremendous amount of harm to educational innovation and creativity and we, as educators, must become stronger advocates for our profession. Our kids deserve our advocacy. @EdLeader21 @battelleforkids #EdLeader21
At the NEOEA summer academy keynote...@BetsyKling gets it...our kids are #overtestedOH. The advocacy of parent and community allies is so important to make change! Thanks for your support! #RedForEd
When students approach me with problems with the new Grad Requirement, as they did by the dozens with the old one, I'm giving them a list of the contact info for every legislator who votes for this piece of shit. Let them mop it up. #OvertestedOH
Finally, as both the DeMaria & Ohio Excels supposed solutions to the Graduation Requirement cling to a system over reliant upon these assessments, which this study suggests they do not even understand (I’m looking at you too, Fordham), both need to be discarded. #OvertestedOH
No one who has counseled a student through the current meaningless & problematic Graduation Requirement can in their right mind support the Ohio Excels or State BOE "solutions." How many kids or parents battered by the system had a say in these plans? #OHBudget #OvertestedOH
Ohio's New Educator Leaders met with State Representative @KentForColumbus this morning to discuss HB239, which focuses on overtesting in Ohio. Want to learn more about ONE?

“...standardized test results underestimate large numbers of students as learners, especially those who belong to minority groups.” The Ohio Senate just passed a test-heavy Grad Requirement that will underestimate (refuse diplomas to) large numbers of students. #OvertestedOH
@elyriajablo @mandyjab03 @buckeyeteacher3 @bosak_j @dawnintheworld @achbeck We must ignore proposed laws that were created to distract us from important bills being considered. #RepealHB70 #TrustEducators #OvertestedOH #OHEd #k12 #OHLeg
@DispatchAlerts @dispatcheditor @clevelanddotcom @ThePlainDealer @Enquirer @toledonews @daytondailynews Please stop publicizing proposed laws that were created to distract us from important bills being considered. #RepealHB70 #TrustEducators #OvertestedOH #OHEd #k12 #OHLeg
If this new state takeover law passes, I hope that those districts in line for state control (labeled failures largely for their poverty) are prepared to resist this system with a bitterness heretofore unseen in the state. #OhioLovesTeachers #OvertestedOH #RedForEd
