Message: From GoLocalProv by Jill Davidson, GoLocalProv Guest MINDSETTER™: Julia Steiny and I share many beliefs about what constitutes a meaningful, equitable, and effective education for the young people of Rhode Island. However, on March 8, Ms. Steiny wrote an article that castigates the many parents, teachers, students, school administrators, and community leaders who have been critical of Rhode Island’s plan to use the NECAP, a high-stakes standardized test to determine who should get a high school diploma next year. Unfortunately, none of this broad-based coalition’s actual critiques made it into Steiny’s piece. Instead, she posits a straw man argument: that this is about low vs. high expectations. http://www.golocalprov.comhttp://beta.golocalprov.com/jill-davidson-students-need-meaningful-learning-experiences
