(The Center Square) – The Illinois State Board of Education (ISBE) is considering replacing the state’s single end-of-year standardized exam with three standardized tests throughout the school year for grades three through eight.
Teachers’ unions and some education advocacy groups are not in favor of the change, NPR reported.
Thomas Bertrand, executive director of the Illinois Association of School Boards, says it’s a delicate balance to maintain between assessing progress and meeting students’ academic and emotional needs.
“If you talk to the practitioners in the classroom, I think there’s going to be some concern about increasing testing right now with all of the other needs that students and teachers are going to have,” he said.
