#nced #ncpol #ncga Rep. John Torbett's idea on Monday for changing how EOG & EOC tests are handled: "We talked about maybe when a child takes a test, get rid of end-of-grade testing for example. What we might want to do is each week or every other week whatever the teacher

decides to do, to gauge whether that child is learning at the pace they need to learn on. They do it maybe on their machine & then that machine goes to software that tabulates the score & tells that teacher in real time how each child in her class is doing, & that gives others

the opportunity to look at that class against other classes, that school against other schools, that district against other districts, state against state in real-time information & it’s cumulative. It rolls each & every week so then at the end of the year, or the end of the

semester, the child can be graded on the scores they already have in the machine & it would spit out the score & at the end of the grade, the cumulative score would be the new EOG & you would not test the end-of-grade test. You would already have how that child has excelled.

The bonus is that teacher sees, has been able, to see the improvement of each child in that classroom in real time.”
