Kathy Greeley, 40+ year career educator and author of Testing Education, is here to bust some #2, standardized-testing-ready pencils.

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!
