WIth all the recent talk about how the CCSS will move us away from fact-driven teaching, learning and testing, this article might give us pause to reconsider where we are heading. Essentially, if the testing and assessments do not follow along with the new standards, we will find ourselves in the same spot we are currently in. It is not encourageing to realize who is making the tests. Additionally, if the tests are too difficult, and the early indication is that they will be difficult, then students scores will plummet. I think we all know who will be blamed if that happens.

Dear Colleague,
For the past few years, the debate about education has been a one-way conversation, with a lot of negative comments and misguided policies aimed at teachers and our schools. The voices of educators were largely ignored.
There are many events -- orientation, meetings, workshops, and the Fall Social -- for lecturers to attend in September.
Sept 6 - Part-Time Lecturer Orientation
Sept 9, 10, 11 -- Meetings re a new PTL proposal
Sept 17, 18, 20, 24 -- Workshops: Evaluations & Promotions
Sept 26 - EMUFT Fall Social
Check your e-mail in the coming weeks for additional information on all of these events.
See our Calendar for the full schedule of September Events. See you then!
No one thinks it will happen to them, and then it does.
Please read this information carefully to protect yourself.
