An insane task that I'd never even HEARD of before coming to NYC. I took joy in ripping all the paper down in uncovering my class this afternoon.

Students are taught to use various supports when thinking, learning, and creating yet when we are testing them on their ability to do so we do not allow them access to the very supports we taught them to use. When we will stop assessing 21st century students on their grasp of pre-19th century skill sets?
