On Friday evening I posted a picture of a not-so secret email from the Delaware DOE that was sent to all Delaware Superintendents and Charter heads concerning Smarter Balanced Assessment results and timetables. As well, it had sources parents and citizens could look at online to get more information about the Smarter Balanced Assessment and Common Core. But one thing it had that I have heard reference to is this mysterious “toolkit”. This is a link in the email that gives districts “templates you can adapt, such as presentations, robo call scripts and letters, as well as background information on Smarter.”
If anyone has taken a trip down the rabbit hole and into this magical “toolkit”, let me know. I am very curious as to what all this looks like. I’ve heard there is reference to teachers getting blamed for the test because they gave possible material for it. Like I said last week, don’t believe the future hoopla. It’s all been carefully designed by the Delaware Department of Education to get the blame shifted off them. Most of you know how to reach me…
Yeah… I did when I wrote one of my pieces off your piece… Just follow those links and you will see it… Everybody can see it… (if they quickly hurry now that I mentioned it wasn’t covered up…)

I’ve been to all those links, but the toolkit is something else. That is not something the DOE wants made public. I’ve heard more than one “educator” refer to this.
