    I'd wish I could say that these results are surprising, but they aren't. I think the issue with these articles though as it follows the same narrative that we continue to see and that is that the results are only indicative of poor STUDENT performance. There is never a discussion regarding the implementation of the test, or the preparations methods used by the schools. These articles want to give SCS a pat on the back for raising test scores a fraction of a percent but not discuss the problems /issues of even using standardized testing to establish performance.
    As for our position, I think the most effective approach to the standardized test we can take is not necessarily to focus on academic content but to help the students understand what the purpose of the testing is and how the scholars should approach this type of academic preparation. Similar to the way in which we do with ACT Prep, where we not only focus on content but also on strategy and perspective. I'm reminded of two springs ago when the entire states testing system crashed and left kids in a panic because the preparations they had made were swiftly made inadequate. It is irresponsible for anyone to look at the outcome of that type of situation and then even attempt to make an evaluation of the results.

Hi Everyone, Welcome to our Learning Log- 2. Here is the plan for this week discussion- Imagine you have been called for a job talk of an organization which is similar to Peer Power mission. During the interview process you were given following two reading materials-     1.      Confronting Barriers to Learning to Help All Children Succeed. Link 2.      Also, we will be exploring an organization name “ Turnaroundusa ”. They are similar in nature what we do in Peer Power. What I/we will do? Or your task! Based on the above two readings and your professional experience with Peer Power, you will be coming up with 3/5 recommendations/changes that you want to see in your team/school during Fall 2017. You are welcome to use case studies and/or any other experience related to your recommendations. Due date: 10/01/2017 by 11.57PM Thanks Hasan
