Statement from @nysut: Student test scores released today are based on badly flawed standardized tests that are tied to invalid and inaccurate “proficiency” benchmarks — and were provided to teachers and schools too late to be helpful.

“It is better that scores are up, but it doesn’t change the fact that the state’s standardized testing program — and the way it determines student proficiency — is badly broken,” said NYSUT President @AndyPallotta. nysut.org/news/2018/septembe…

State test scores? Too little, too late.
And by "too little" we mean that the scores are based on flawed standardized tests and pegged to invalid measures of proficiency.

77% of NYS Senate members support the bill to fix APPR and return teacher evaluations to local control. Why hasn’t it been brought to the Senate floor for a vote? #LetUsTeach #LetThemLearn #LetTheSenateVote nysut.org/letusteach
