Dr. Mike Looney, Superintendent of Williamson County Schools
Instead of testing we should be focused on understanding how kids really learn, social justice and access to technology
Access Parity
“Over 3000 students don’t have Internet connectivity at home… for another large segment, the only time they touch a device is at the school house.”
The learning continuum
“Kids learn on a continuum. Some learn faster than others. We should be measuring that learning on that continuum.”
Conversation has to dig deeper
“McDonalds don’t measure every hamburger, yet we’re measuring every single kid, every single year, to make sure they fit this nice little mold.”
