Delaware State Rep. Sean Lynn introduced legislation today to have another year added before Delaware teachers would have the Smarter Balanced Assessment scores be a part of their rated teacher effectiveness. This current year was already part of last year’s waiver since Smarter Balanced was just rolled out, but this would stop the madness for another year. I am sure everyone would be happy if it was gone altogether, but this is a good step!
It is not a good step, it is incrementalism at its Delaware finest. No surprise Lynn leading the charge. Real Q: why is he not seeking elimination?

This bill should frankly ANGER teachers.

I was thinking the same. We need to do away with the smarter balance. Not postpone its effect… It is like feeding arsenic to a baby and then postponing the doctors check up to study its effects for another year… The arsenic poisoner would be for it, but no one else.
