What do we value? This case is about priorities, especially how to use school time. It juxtaposes
the value of providing authentic and challenging learning experiences with the pressure to
devote months of school time almost exclusively to test preparation. It also addresses the
consequences that result from the choices schools are now being forced to make.
Discussion Questions
- What do we value?
- How much emphasis should be placed on passing a single test?
- How do we balance the increased value on assessment with authentic learning experiences?
- How do we embed testing preparation with effective instruction?
