   Extractions: News FAQs DPI Hall of Shame Article Archive ... Boston College Conference Oct 2002: "How to Keep High-stakes Testing from Making People Mentally Ill." HERE WE GO AGAIN!!! NOSEDIVE!! "In 2002, 46.8 percent of fourth graders scored at grade level or above as compared to 68.8 percent in 2001 and 57.6 percent in 2000. A total of 62.9 percent of seventh graders scored at 2.5 or better. This compares to 73.3 percent in 2001 and 71.9 percent in 2000. Questions for the DPI, the State Board of Education, Phil Kirk, Mike Ward, Governor Easley, and members of the General Assembly: (1) What follow-up has there been from the audit panel report issued last December? (2) Were any lessons really learned from last year's math test fiasco? (3) How much longer will NC's children be guinea pigs in the DPI's ill-run testing lab? And most importantly...... (4) Given last year's and this year's massive failures, how can North Carolina parents, teachers, administrators, and students have any faith in any of DPI's tests? It appears that the ONLY gauge of quality of the tests are "reasonable" pass/fail rates. In Lou Fabrizio's words of last spring, we can assume that the "right" numbers are 85% pass, 15% fail. How can we ensure that "no child is left behind" and that no child is unfairly categorized as being "behind" with such shoddy instruments? If the testocrat agenda is to rule the day, when, at the very least, will they use legitimate tests?

As such, it has been designed to merge and reflect Governor James B. Hunt's goal of having North Carolina's schools First in America by 2010. This will be done by supporting and enhancing the North Carolina Department of Public Instruction's mission of high student achievement; safe and orderly schools; quality professionals; effective, efficient operations; and community and family support. High Student Performance Technology is a tool that enables teachers and administrators to work more productively, offering solutions for time management, student monitoring and intervention, and more interesting and effective lessons and classroom activities. Technology is a tool that enables students to interact with and explore the world, bringing a wealth of information and experiences into the classroom, thus potentially overcoming geographical isolation, physical barriers, and economic hardships. Technology is a tool that encourages student creativity and self-direction and helps students develop skills that prepare them for responsible citizenship within the nation and world. Ultimately, technology is a tool that helps every teacher and student be successful
