Superintendent Richard Woods regarding the U.S. Department of Education’s Testing Action Plan

10/27/2015

 
Statement from State School Superintendent Richard Woods regarding the U.S. Department of Education’s recently announced Testing Action Plan:

“I am pleased that the President and U.S. Secretary of Education see what we at the state and local levels have seen for years: we test way too much. As I stated early on in my term, we must balance accountability with responsibility. That is why several months ago I called for a testing audit to determine ways we could eliminate unnecessary testing at the state and local levels. 

In the days ahead, my team and I will look over this proposal and move forward with recommendations to provide relief from over-testing and over-burdensome accountability. Now that the federal government has signaled its willingness to provide flexibility, we as a state must act, in the interests of our students and teachers.”​
