More than 10,000 individuals and more than 350 organizations have signed the National Resolution to Oppose High-Stakes Testing.
More than half the school districts in Texas have signed the original anti-high-stakes testing resolution, which inspired the national resolution.
Many districts in Florida have endorsed it, including Broward County.
Let’s reclaim as schools as places for learning, not just places to test, measure, assess, rate, rank, and evaluate one another.
Please sign the resolution and send it on to others.

I admire the people who are taking a stand against the high stakes testing. Are there people taking a stand against the longitudinal databases?
Michelle,
Which longitudinal databases do you have in mind? And does your question imply a problem with such databases? I’m confused by your comment.
Thanks,
Duane
