  • Why are children given standardized tests?
  • What do you think about them? What do the test results tell us?
  • Are we testing for the right things?
  • What does Alaska’s recent waiver from parts of No Child Left Behind (NCLB) mean? What do you think about NCLB?
  • How can we reduce anxiety around testing?
  • How can we help students retain information over the summer vacation?
