Thinking “Outside the Bubble” on the All-Important Standardized Tests

By Alex Kajitani

It’s that time again.  Time to start training your students to fill in the bubbles that matter most.  Like it or not, for most teachers, especially those of us who teach at-promise students, those bubbles determine in large part the public’s perceptions of our school and district, our students’ opinions of themselves, and our school site’s administrators (who may change, for better or worse, once test results come in).  Now, if “Race to the Top” has its way, those test scores will soon also determine whether or not we are “highly effective” teachers, regardless of where and whom we teach.
