@DataDiva My dream is removal of annual testing from ESEA but think all we will get is allowing states to decide if HSTs and teval go 2gethr

@DataDiva for very little reward given they are only slightly less bad then DDMs and highly correlated. Love Berliners early work on this

@DataDiva Would the funds be more or less than billions currently being spent on developing and rolling out?

@DataDiva no psychometrician so I may be wrong, but aren't district determined measures highly correlated with HSTs and cheaper?

@DataDiva that doesn't improve usefulness & practicality of yearly assessments. Small districts make VAM pretty difficult if not impossible

@DataDiva I don't hate testing. Data helps shape policy and research. Yearly testing for accountability wrong purpose. Sampling better.

@MaeveCHWard @AssessWell You will have to forgive my ignorance. I always thought you established validity & reliability before consequences
