    - Too much pressure on teachers.
   - Negative impact on the classroom.
 - Time wasted
 -  'Test and Punishment'

Overall, 75% of teachers were satisfied with their jobs but there is still the dissatisfaction that makes them want to leave the profession due to standardized teachers.

- Preparation for the testing: People have to be trained to proctor the test, and teachers take time out of their lessons to prepare students for the specifics of the testing.  It also costs a lot of money to prepare for the tests, and getting all of the needed technology ready as well. 
-Testing space: Testing often times takes place in bigger rooms like libraries, music rooms, and art rooms, so during these times, teachers and students aren't able to utilize these rooms and their resources.  
-Test feedback: Test feedback isn't done in a timely manner.  Teachers want to be able to use the results to better learning in the classroom, but by the time results come in, the data could be irrelevant. 
-Certain mandatory tests take time away from other tests: This time could be used for tests in AP courses and other advanced classes that could help students earn college credit while in high school.

"One study found that teachers lose between 60 to 110 hours of instructional time in a year because of testing and the institutional tasks that surround it" 
-"soft skills" are neglected
-"Standardized tests narrow the entire curriculum in many schools, often squeezing out subjects such as music, art, foreign languages"
-accommodations needed to promote equity (IEP and 504)
-break up testing time/subjects to give students a break (such as week long testing)]]> 2017-11-21 21:25:03 UTC https://padlet.com/gschnagl01/xrbjrrkqwypz/wish/209276901 https://padlet.com/gschnagl01/xrbjrrkqwypz/wish/209277123 - "Learning" happenes during ones first initial exposure to something
- "Testing" is an active recall and retrieval practice- putting information in to a question format
- "Studying" reading and reviewing already learned info
       - "Concept mapping" is a tool used while studying to help connect concepts and facts

Students recall 50% more of learned information by testing themselves rather than studying.]]> 2017-11-21 21:26:07 UTC https://padlet.com/gschnagl01/xrbjrrkqwypz/wish/209277123 herbjill1960 https://padlet.com/gschnagl01/xrbjrrkqwypz/wish/209281074 2017-11-21 21:36:31 UTC https://padlet.com/gschnagl01/xrbjrrkqwypz/wish/209281074 https://padlet.com/gschnagl01/xrbjrrkqwypz/wish/209281288 2017-11-21 21:37:47 UTC https://padlet.com/gschnagl01/xrbjrrkqwypz/wish/209281288
