Los Angeles public schools will reduce standardized testing, allowing up to 10 schools to opt out entirely, challenging a long-standing evaluation approach.
Supporters believe this action serves as an antidote to the anxiety generated by standardized tests, promoting deeper, more engaging learning experiences for students.
Critics of the resolution express concern that opting out of standardized testing may result in a lack of rigor and hinder instructional effectiveness.
Superintendent Alberto Carvalho's reliance on standardized data for evaluation poses a challenge to the board's new pilot program, as he did not oppose the resolution.
