In the realm of education, the contentious topic of standardized testing has ignited fervent debates among educators, parents, policymakers, and students. This divisive issue has long been a source of contention, with proponents asserting its crucial role in assessing academic performance and ensuring accountability, while detractors argue that it places undue pressure on students, constrains the curriculum, and exacerbates existing inequities. To shed light on the multifaceted nature of this debate, Urban Education Coach Teach Jay, has joined the conversation. Teach Jay brings a wealth of experience in navigating the complexities of urban education, offering a unique perspective on the standardized testing dilemma. As discussions unfold, the goal is to unravel the intricacies of how standardized testing impacts students, teachers, and the broader education system. The controversy surrounding standardized testing centers on its perceived benefits and drawbacks. Proponents argue that it provides an objective measure of academic achievement, allowing for comparisons across schools and districts. Additionally, they contend that standardized testing is a valuable tool for holding schools accountable and guiding educational policies. On the contrary, critics assert that these tests may not accurately capture a student's true capabilities, leading to a narrow focus on test preparation that limits the overall educational experience. Teach Jay's insights on The Spark provided a nuanced understanding of the challenges and opportunities associated with standardized testing in urban education. And as the conversation continues to unfold, it will continue to delve into the impact on marginalized communities, potential alternatives, and the broader implications for the future of education.Support WITF: https://www.witf.org/support/give-now/See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

On our Thursday education focused episode, we circled back into the subject of state testing results. Pennsylvania saw lower participation rates in tests like the Keystones and PSSA's in 2020-2021 school year, and the scores overall reflected the effects of the pandemic on our students. On the program were Dr Ian Roberts, superintendent of the Millcreek Township School District, and Matthew Lane, superintendent of General McLane Schools to get their perspectives.

On our Thursday education focus, we had our first discussion about the K-12 student testing in Pennsylvania. Joining us to talk about the results from the Erie School District was Karin Ryan, Director of Educational Services for the Erie School District. The pandemic wreaked havoc on the educational system, and we want to do what we can to set our students up for future success.

At first glance, if you read the INTO documentation, the new PSSA finally achieves pay equality and benchmarking for principals. However, very quickly you realise, it actually doesn't. In this slightly unscripted episode recording in late January, I try and chart my thought process and nail my colours to the mast by the end. As usual with our union, nothing is as straightforward as it looks.

Minneapolis burns, including a police station, as the demands for justice in the police murder of an unarmed black man, George Floyd. Four white police officers involved in the murder have been fired, but the video of one officer with his knee on Floyd’s neck for several minutes while he cried out “I can’t breathe” have the community calling for more widespread justice. Protests have started to spread across the nation as well.  Trump took to Twitter to help insight violence against Minneapolis protesters calling them “THUGS,” suggesting that the military should be brought in to suppress the protests, and threatening “when the looting starts, the shooting starts.”  And it’s official. More than 100,000 Americans are dead from COVID-19. That horrific milestone was reached as states are planning on or have already opened up. Yet, as the Washington Post reported this week, rural areas are increasingly becoming the areas hit hardest by the coronavirus. And while those states hit hard by COVID-19 early in the outbreak are beginning to flatten their curves, the rest of the country’s numbers are continuing to skyrocket up.  Over Memorial Day weekend, the Lake of the Ozarks in Missouri was the place to be, apparently. Thousands of people flooded pool parties and resorts in violation of the state’s and county’s COVID-19 restrictions. The Governor of St. Louis County had to issue a travel advisory after videos of the parties went viral urging “those who ignored protective practices to self-quarantine for 14 days or until testing negative for COVID-19.” What are the chances of that, do you think?  After aggressive efforts to combat the spread of the coronavirus, South Korea made the decision to reopen its schools. Now more than 500 schools have had to shut their doors again after spikes in new cases.  New York Rep. Eliot Engle, the hawkish Democrat who chairs the House Foreign Affairs Committee and who has ties to defense contractors, may just lose a primary challenge to Jamaal Bowman, a progressive champion for the district representing parts of the Brox and Westchester.  PA Republican leaders in the House were exposed for a COVID-19 cover-up in the Capitol.  House Representative Andy Lewis came down with the virus and tested positive on May 14th.  When he told leadership that he tested positive, leadership only told other Republicans to quarantine.  Who cares if the House Democrats get sick.   PA State Representative Brian Sims, unloads on Republican State House leadership after learning that House Majority Leader, Mike Turzai and other members of the House Republican leadership covered-up the fact that several Republican members had tested positive for COVID-19. Rep. Russ Diamond, who has been the biggest loudmouth about how everything is safe and that that Governor Wolf is a tyrant, was one of the Republicans who tested positive for COVID-19. The COVID coverup didn’t stop House Republicans from voting on Russ Diamond’s resolution to suspend Governor Tom Wolf’s emergency declaration. Oh, 8 Democrats voted for Russ Diamond’s bill to open up PA. This is AFTER the news broke of the PA GOP COVID-19 cover-up. Bernie Sanders endorses Daylin Leach’s Primary challenger Amanda Capaletti & endorsed Nikil Saval who is the editor of N+1 and running against Larry Farnese.   In another chapter of “you just don’t get it, do you,” Pennsylvania’s department of education is working with the Data Recognition Corporation to find ways of getting parents to give their kids standardized tests in the event that schools remained closed in the fall due to the pandemic. I don’t know about you, but I was really disappointed when my kids’ PSSA’s and other standardized tests were canceled this year. The good news is that Pennsylvania is not the only state attempting to push high-stakes testing into students’ homes.  Oh, and who’s Matt Brouillette again? Netflix’s Space Force starring Steve Carell premiers TODAY!  Wednesday’s attempt by SpaceX and NASA to launch astronauts to the International Space Station from U.S. soil for the first time in almost 10 years had to be postponed due to weather. The new launch date is set for tomorrow, Saturday, May 30 @ 3:22 pm. Sean bought a desk fan. Big news. He needed it after going down the YouTube rabbit hole on Nicholas Cage.
