@TinaForKentucky @KYEducators @JCTAKY @DianeRavitch @ksbanews @KentuckyBATs @LtGovColeman @120Strong Will the committee be consulting current, active teachers across the grade school spectrum and subjects to get a wide variety of views?

@DanKarellVille @KYEducators @JCTAKY @DianeRavitch @ksbanews @KentuckyBATs @LtGovColeman @120Strong We do have teachers from various content areas on the committee. I agree that having teachers across the grade spectrum would also be important.

@TinaForKentucky @KYEducators @JCTAKY @DianeRavitch @ksbanews @KentuckyBATs @LtGovColeman @120Strong If you want any info about testing as it relates to ESL students -who have federally required testing in addition to state testing- I’d be happy to talk with you.

@Kyducation @KYEducators @JCTAKY @DianeRavitch @ksbanews @KentuckyBATs @LtGovColeman @120Strong Thank you, Sarah, I would appreciate your input. My e-mail is tina.bojanowski @lrc .ky.gov. Thank you!

@TinaForKentucky @KYEducators @JCTAKY @DianeRavitch @ksbanews @KentuckyBATs @LtGovColeman @120Strong Thank you!

@TinaForKentucky @DMiller584 @KYEducators @JCTAKY @DianeRavitch @ksbanews @KentuckyBATs @LtGovColeman @120Strong Good. Make sure to look into the collection and use of student data. Also review the extensive research on what most of these tests actually measure... and finally investigate how test data is weaponized against schools and teachers.

@TinaForKentucky @KYEducators @JCTAKY @DianeRavitch @ksbanews @KentuckyBATs @LtGovColeman @120Strong I remember my oldest crying at the beginning of August (going into 5th) because his fourth grade teacher terrorized his class about how hard Fifth grade was because of the standardized test. Let teachers teach and kids be kids.

@TinaForKentucky @KYEducators @JCTAKY @DianeRavitch @ksbanews @KentuckyBATs @LtGovColeman @120Strong Thanks for looking into this. I believe it is a good idea to have some kind of yearly assessment to measure progress and use to plan educational priorities, but the Assessment-Intervention Industrial Complex is now so powerful it is wagging the dog.

@TinaForKentucky @120Strong @KYEducators @JCTAKY @DianeRavitch @ksbanews @KentuckyBATs @LtGovColeman Couldn’t love this more! In fact this is my first tweet EVER! So make it happen
