Interversity Quotes"I think it's time to ask the Standardistos: Where's the test for compassion? For honesty? For curiosity? For moral commitment? Until they can answer, let's tell them to shut up." —Susan Ohanian (One Size Fits Few: The Folly of Educational Standards) Interversity ProjectsEchoes of Orwell:The purpose of this webforum is to promote a lively discussion among students and faculty alike about George Orwell's 1984 and the parallels or echoes found in today's society. |

Like student achievement it is purposely constructed and tainted. Just like we should use terms like student learning, we should differentiate between data-informed and data-driven. Data informs us, not drives us. Our goals drive us, not data. Please make sure this is part of the dialogue.
