Mickey,

You are generous in your estimate of assessment/curriculum alignment in a
University of Madison-Wisconsin study 10 states were examined and the
alignment of assessment to standards ranged from 5% to 46%.  (5% was Math in
Massachusetts).  In NY we can expect around 20%.  If you're doing 50%,
you're leading the pack!
