Certified TeacherSandy Wisneski commented on Dottie Barrow's blog post ISTE Standards and Standardized Tests
"Our staff has had this same discussion. All teachers need to take ownership for this. Everyone needs to implement the ISTE standards. Good points, Dottie."
Yvonne Caples commented on Dottie Barrow's blog post ISTE Standards and Standardized Tests"Great point Dottie! There is definitely a disconnect between standardized tests and real world work skills and so much pressure for teachers to teach to the test."
