Cindy's Four Point Plan for Common Sense Education
Restoring Common Sense to Statewide Testing






 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 

I commit to using my voice and powers to establish timely, meaningful, and useful measures for Wyoming assessment.  

I believe and will …

Carefully examine state based testing. We must consider new   
   alternatives.
Eliminate the duplication in testing. Teachers should be focused  
   on instruction and not on testing.
Give teachers, parents, and students a voice in creating   
   alternatives to PAWS testing.

·      I oppose …

Top-down decision making by those who are so removed from
   the classroom that they do not understand the needs of the
   children.
Tests whose results are not known to teachers (if at all) until the  
   child moves on to the next grade.
