Discussion 11/11 - 520

 With the push for higher academic standards, some schools are beginning to use exit exams as part of the decision-making process to promote students to the next grade. Is this a good change? Why or why not? How might this affect curriculum design? 

You are an elementary school principal. Your district superintendent returns from a national conference with an interest in implementing an expensive software program for elementary schools across the district. You have worked with the program before and believe it will have limited application at your school. Describe your approach to sharing your experience with your superintendent. How will you prepare for the dialogue? What are some examples of data and rationale that you will share?
