S2.E4: Measure What Matters
Voting day in the Denver School Board Elections is Tuesday, Nov 2nd so we're releasing this episode early!
This time on That's SO EDVOLUTIONARY, Ali and Annie ask the candidates about the current accountability tools used in Denver Public Schools.
-- Have they helped us improve learning and growth for students and teachers?
--What IS important to measure when we are aiming for the full cognitive, physical and emotional development of human beings?
-- How do we keep certain measures from sucking all the air out of the room and causing unintended harm to all the people learning and working in schools?
The episode kicks off as always with a lively discussion on the context and research Annie and Ali think is critical to consider as we all answer these questions and decide which candidate represents our values.
