Board of Education Detailed Agenda August 28, 2013

structure of the systems in which students learn must foster engaging school experiences that promote joy in learning, depth of thought and breadth of knowledge for students; and WHEREAS, our nation's school systems have been spending growing amounts of time, money and energy on high-stakes standardized testing, in which student performance on standardized tests is used to make major decisions affecting individual students, educators and schools; while such testing is an inadequate and often unreliable measure of both student learning and educator effectiveness; and WHEREAS, the Southold Board of Education supports educational accountability in public schools, but believes that the current over-emphasis on standardized testing has caused considerable collateral damage in our schools, including reducing instructional time, narrowing the curriculum, increasing student stress, reducing love of learning and teaching, and driving excellent teachers out of the profession; and WHEREAS, we believe that this testing hampers educators' efforts to focus on the broad range of learning experiences that promote the innovation, creativity, problem solving, collaboration, communication, critical thinking and deep subject-matter knowledge that will allow students to thrive in our democracy and an increasingly global society and economy; therefore be it RESOLVED that the Southold Board of Education calls on Governor Cuomo, Commissioner King, the State Legislature, and the Board of Regents to reexamine public school accountability systems in this state, including the Annual Professional Performance Review (APPR) and to develop a system based on multiple forms of assessment which do not require extensive standardized testing, more accurately reflects the broad range of student learning, and is used to support students and improve schools; and RESOLVED, that the Southold Board of Education calls on the U.S. Congress and Administration to overhaul the Elementary and Secondary Education Act (currently known as the No Child Left Behind Act"), reduce the testing mandates and promote multiple forms of evidence of student learning and school quality in accountability.
