CONVENING ON HIGH STAKES TESTING: ENVISIONING ALTERNATIVES & PLANNING NEXT STEPS
Saturday, October 24, 2015 from 9:30 AM to 4:00 PM (EDT)
Kiva Auditorium, Ritter Annex, Temple University
1301 Cecil B. Moore Ave
The convening is designed to create partnerships in support of replacing high stakes testing with more meaningful forms of assessment and accountability.
Educators, parents, students, researchers, and other key stakeholders will work to develop action plans in the following four areas:
- Organizing/mobilizing against high stakes testing
- Developing authentic and alternative assessments for students
- Developing genuine accountability for teachers and schools that do not rely on test scores, and, developing accountability for the SRC
- Advocating for legislation that promotes quality education for all students.
We hope you can make it!
Cheers,
URBAN Philly; Alliance for Philadelphia Public Schools (APPS); Caucus of Working Educators (WE); College of Education, Temple University; Opt Out Philly; Teacher Action Group (TAG); United Opt Out; University Community Collaborative
