“It is way easier to make a hard test that smart people can do well on than one that shows growth tied to teaching and learning.” Jack Buckley
“Even when access gaps are closed, white and affluent students are more likely to use technology for creativity and problem solving with greater levels of mentorship from adults, while students from minority groups and low-income neighborhoods use technology more commonly for routine drills with lower levels of adult support.” Justin Reich
“Kids who barely scratch out a few sentences to a standardized test prep question might be writing thousands of words of Warrior Cats fan fiction at home at night.” Justin Reich
“Time is one of the most powerful levers for change in a school. Everything about how a school runs, from where staff go, to when they have breaks and collaborative time, to what classes students can take, is based on how leaders schedule the limited time within a school day, week, and year.” Katrina Schwartz in “Time Is an Essential Teacher Resource, So How Can Schools BeMore Creative With It?” in MindShift, February 2019, https://bit.ly/2C9TIXJ
