Reluctant Tourist Musings
As a “special” teacher who doesn’t have a homeroom, there doesn’t seem to be an easy way to get much data that would help me improve my teaching. But then, it’s not obvious that this data is being used to improve teaching, either from perusing this site or from correcting open ended math problems on the tests. I am not suggesting that my limited perspective provides meaningful insights into the efficacy of learning assessment technology.
If my estrangement from this assessment tool is typical for teachers in my school as I think it is, I think the fault lies with the school leadership.
We’ll need many tools to fix our failing school. They’ll help only if tools are used well.

Closing Thoughts
• “Assessment all by itself is an insufficient condition for powerful learning and improvement.” http://www.cae.org/content/pdf/A_Brief_History_of_Student_Learning_Assessment_(Shavelson-2007).PDF
• Focusing on optimal test results is not the same as focusing on the educational success for all.
• Properly implemented, LAT can guide instruction to better achieve standards.
