Quotation of the day……
“In the short run, we can get kids to be better on the test. In the long run, we need to get rid of the tests and replace them with a more sensible concept.” ~MIT professor emeritus and Logo programming language pioneer Seymour Papert speaking at the annual CoSN conference in Washington, D.C.
For far too long, assessment has been a necessity in which we are locked by tradition. People like Papert will continue to move us in the right direction, questioning WHY we do what we do.
