Along these, the possibility of school closure also made standardized testing really high-risk test on both teachers and students. for the students these test often either made the students or ended the students. 
Under ESSA, schools are still to assess their students progress annually, there by limiting over testing in students. tests themselves can change due toe ESSA, since they do not have to use state tests for their assessment; they can use other commonly known tests such as SATs and ACTs. Testing is also now doable in computer devices. Although testing is still challenging, it is a step forward when it comes to accountabilit]]> 2018-12-05 18:25:52 UTC https://padlet.com/ejme15/5hv5u6ar4086/wish/311518088 ejme15 https://padlet.com/ejme15/5hv5u6ar4086/wish/311527820 2018-12-05 18:42:43 UTC https://padlet.com/ejme15/5hv5u6ar4086/wish/311527820 ejme15 https://padlet.com/ejme15/5hv5u6ar4086/wish/311532923 Under ESSA schools are entitled to claim funding is their school is labeled as low-performing schools. Schools receiving this fund are labeled as Title 1 schools and by 2020 this fund is set to increase to $16.2 billion. the funding is meant to close the achievement gap by helping the students who are most academically at risk through direct student services. ]]> 2018-12-05 18:51:16 UTC https://padlet.com/ejme15/5hv5u6ar4086/wish/311532923 ejme15 https://padlet.com/ejme15/5hv5u6ar4086/wish/311621523 2018-12-05 22:21:53 UTC https://padlet.com/ejme15/5hv5u6ar4086/wish/311621523 ejme15 https://padlet.com/ejme15/5hv5u6ar4086/wish/311621716 Many teachers believe that classrooms these days spend too much time either preparing for a test or taking a test. High Stakes tests were priority in the classroom, but with ESSA schools can use different forms  assessment. There are seven leading states that are searching alternative forms of assessment such as portfolios and projects. A pilot program; The Performance Assessment of Competency Education (PACE) is set to replace standard multiple-choice questions for more meaningful tasks that encourage students to apply what they have learned in sophisticated ways and to use critical thinking and problem solving skills.]]> 2018-12-05 22:22:52 UTC https://padlet.com/ejme15/5hv5u6ar4086/wish/311621716 ejme15 https://padlet.com/ejme15/5hv5u6ar4086/wish/311640784 2018-12-06 00:30:21 UTC https://padlet.com/ejme15/5hv5u6ar4086/wish/311640784 ejme15 https://padlet.com/ejme15/5hv5u6ar4086/wish/311641010 2018-12-06 00:31:34 UTC https://padlet.com/ejme15/5hv5u6ar4086/wish/311641010 ejme15 https://padlet.com/ejme15/5hv5u6ar4086/wish/311641739 This cartoon depicts ESSA as a larger version of NCLB. the website where this website is from opposes common core standards and ESSA. According to the post, ESSA does not protect students or parental privacy under the law. Common core standards are forcing information on children that have little to no relevance in student's lives. it does not encourage skills necessary for success in pursuit of carrier or work. ]]> 2018-12-06 00:36:19 UTC https://padlet.com/ejme15/5hv5u6ar4086/wish/311641739 ejme15 https://padlet.com/ejme15/5hv5u6ar4086/wish/311642473 Technology has changed our classrooms. there are ways that both teachers and students learn that were not available before digital technology. while some of this technology has advanced our methods of learning, many are worried that we rely too much on this technology. Some claim that technology has even changed the way students communicate, there are studies that show young generations losing their ability to socialize. While schools become more reliable in technology there is still a digital divide with students not being able to access these tools from home. Technology might continue to advance, but basic tools should not be forgotten since they are just as useful in a classroom setting. ]]> 2018-12-06 00:41:22 UTC https://padlet.com/ejme15/5hv5u6ar4086/wish/311642473 ejme15 https://padlet.com/ejme15/5hv5u6ar4086/wish/311681440 2018-12-06 05:35:12 UTC https://padlet.com/ejme15/5hv5u6ar4086/wish/311681440 ejme15 https://padlet.com/ejme15/5hv5u6ar4086/wish/311682700 2018-12-06 05:47:53 UTC https://padlet.com/ejme15/5hv5u6ar4086/wish/311682700 ejme15 https://padlet.com/ejme15/5hv5u6ar4086/wish/311683027 Since the 80s there has been a number of pushes to promote education in climate change. The post that belongs with this cartoon specifies a book written about the scare approach to teaching about controversial topics. some say this is still the case today as displayed by this cartoon. Better ways to teach such topic would be recommended specially since there are representatives in our government that deny climate change. ]]> 2018-12-06 05:51:09 UTC https://padlet.com/ejme15/5hv5u6ar4086/wish/311683027 ejme15 https://padlet.com/ejme15/5hv5u6ar4086/wish/311683795 Over the past 10 years school shootings have gone up and with them the demand for higher security at public schools. this cartoon depicts the issue of paying for security in a school with education funding. While having armed guards at schools are opposed by many, The desire for armed guards has gone up. “It sends the signal that the school is being watched and that the care and supervision of children is an important priority,” said one of the directors of national school safety council. to cover the estimated 132,000 public and private schools in the US it would cost approximately $63 billion  for six officers at every school.

The first cartoon in this topic shows that there are many variables that come with teaching and getting a good evaluation based on your teaching. what is really controversial about these evaluations is that the people evaluating you or creating the evaluations are not educators and have not set foot in a long time. further more, because of prior legislation, teacher reputation has become a reflection of test scores. in which case if students perform poorly in their tests, then teachers are labeled as ineffective teachers. ]]> 2018-12-06 06:30:00 UTC https://padlet.com/ejme15/5hv5u6ar4086/wish/311687416 ejme15 https://padlet.com/ejme15/5hv5u6ar4086/wish/311688870 2018-12-06 06:42:33 UTC https://padlet.com/ejme15/5hv5u6ar4086/wish/311688870 ejme15 https://padlet.com/ejme15/5hv5u6ar4086/wish/311688978 Schools choice is the primary beneficiary in the new budget cuts. there is more emphasis on charter schools and because of this some teachers and people believe that the budget cuts will hurt our public schools. The new budge for example, states that “Decades of investments and billions of dollars in spending have shown that an increase in funding does not guarantee high-quality education.” Does cutting the spending in programs designed for learning hurt our students]]> 2018-12-06 06:43:06 UTC https://padlet.com/ejme15/5hv5u6ar4086/wish/311688978
