Kathy Greeley, 40+ year career educator and author of Testing Education, is here to bust some #2, standardized-testing-ready pencils. Over the past decades, America has instituted dozens of standardized tests and policies designed to raise standards. As much as those tests and those standards were designed to measure and increase learning, they've done incredible harm to teaching as a profession and learning as a joyful endeavor. So how can we return to the joy of learning? By busting some of those pencils!
