Testing…Testing…6, 3, 2, 1?

Has not received the same attention as the state competition or i3, but keep an eye on the Race to the Top assessment competition…could be good for business for a guy like Rick Hess if he hasn’t worn himself out making noise about the state competition.   And big equity concerns if this isn’t done right, so stay tuned for that, too.

The criteria are good and the need enormous.  It’s just going to be a tough process to manage from now through implementation.

In the ill-fated George Miller No Child Left Behind reauthorization proposal there was a small assessment innovation pilot.  This is a much more ambitious idea.
