Accountability Essay(Preferably a teacher)

 Write a 3-5 page essay discussing the impact of standardized testing at your school. Use the following questions to guide your writing: 

 What type of school do you work in (public, private, high, middle, elementary)? What are the demographics? 

 How much emphasis is given to standardized assessments at your school? Identify which assessment appears to be most important.  How does the emphasis on this assessment impact your instructional decisions?

  What is your school's history of Adequate Yearly Progress (AYP)? How has your school performed under the Career and College Ready Performance Index? How does school accountability impact school climate? 

 How do standardized testing and school accountability impact students in your classroom? 

If you are currently not working in a school, you may interview a public school teacher. Use the guiding questions to develop the interview questions.
