Take Action to Reduce Excessive Testing

Connecticut General Assembly Members

Help us by…

  1. Reducing burdensome testing by phasing out SBAC, and utilizing a statewide progress test already in use in the classroom that provides a more accurate assessment of student development and growth by measuring crucial skills students need and that test scores cannot adequately measure.
  2. Putting the focus back where it needs to be—on student learning, not testing. 

With your help we can…

  1. Eliminate unnecessary, redundant testing.
  2. Restore precious instructional time to help all children to learn at high levels by engaging them with creative, innovative, and personalized class work.
  3. Make state and federal school accountability innovative, child-centered, and more effective.

…Because a child is more than a test score.
