Press Release, "Education Leaders: Delaying End-of-Course Exams Fails Students Implementing Existing Education Reforms Will Not Drive Costs," put out by the Texas Institute for Education Reform promoting HB 3's heightened use of high-stakes, end-of-course exams.
Shouldn't be surprising given the individuals endorsing this proposal all have an economic stake in the state's testing consumption.

Ms. Lopez,
ReplyDeleteBefore you publish erroneous information on your blog, you may want to check your facts. The three organizations listed are all non-profit entities and have no interest in the textbook publishing business. Instead, they are concerned that the proposed weakening of our state's graduation standards will do a disservice to students as they prepare to enter a more competitive national and international workforce. Perhaps you should focus more on student outcomes than lobbing unfounded accusations.
