Heartbreaking to watch a struggling student “read” passages & stare blankly at each question, only to write “I don’t know.” for 2 hours of work. He had tears in his eyes & stomach hurt. How is this right? What does this prove? #GetTestingRight #CorrectTheTest @nysutEVP @nysut

State testing begins this week. The avg attention span for an 8 yr old is up to 40min. Engaging, stimulating activities, student choice, & variety increase focus. Not sitting for 60-90min. #notmychild #morethanascore #GetTestingRight #OptOut2019 @nysutEVP
Releasing 75% of questions doesn’t help me SEE my students’ work. I can’t score their tests. We don’t get the booklets back.Scores arrive months after the test. We need purposeful, meaningful, useful assessments! #GetTestingRight #notmychild #MoreThanAScore #OptOut2019 @nysutEVP

The wait is over. Hidden calculations create bogus growth scores on outdated data (tests were April/May) Enough is enough! We need fair, meaningful, appropriate evaluations! https://t.co/dw2S03NWbO #GetTestingRight #LetMeTeach @AndyPallotta @KTA_KenmoreTA @rubykatie @nysutEVP
Why state legislatures need to pass evaluation reform: Bogus evaluations, indecipherable mathematical formulas, invalid, inaccurate standardized tests. @AndyPallotta @nysut @rubykatie @cherylhughes11 @nysutEVP @Jorlowski26 @campaignconrad #GetTestingRight #MoreThanAScore
The mysterious “growth scores” pretending to measure teacher effectiveness "should be tossed right into the wastepaper basket,” says NYSUT President @AndyPallotta.
NYS teachers are starting to receive their state evaluations. Here's our statement: https://t.co/UloEzBJKZV
