Thursday April 13 7-9pm UO Straub Hall FREE & OPEN TO THE PUBLIC Had Enough? Local students take up to 116 standardized tests before they graduate. • Smarter Balanced test reports arrive too late for teachers to use. • They cost at least $27.5 million and 2-6 weeks of instruction time. • Studies show these tests aren’t valid measures and colleges don’t use them for admissions. • Schools are pressured to teach to the test and minimize untested subjects. • The Springfi eld School Board urges parents to opt-out. Opt-Out. Oregon law allows it. Contact your school for opt-out forms. Your Child is More Than a Score. Show the giant testing corporations you know whatʻs best for your kids.
