Citizens Standardized Testing Forum

Tuesday, April 30th, at 7pm

 Midlothian High School Library

The nationwide debate over excessive standardized testing and its deleterious effects on student learning and quality teaching continues to grow. 

As Virginia revamps SoLs yet again, while making student performance on mandated standardized tests a significant part of teachers' evaluations, it is important for our community to understand and act on this costly trend in education assessment. 

Please share not only with CEA Members but also friends, neighbors, and all stakeholders. Hope to see you Tomorrow night!
