SUMMARY:Let's Talk: The Testing Charade
DESCRIPTION:Plan now to attend a book study in Columbus\, Ohio of Daniel Koretz’s 2017 book\, The Testing Charade: Pretending to Make Schools Better. Citizen Advocates for Public Education (CAPE Ohio) and Public Education Partners (PEP) are co-sponsoring this community book discussion inspired by the recent work of the Heights Coalition for Public Education. \n\nIs high-stakes testing helping students learn more and teachers teach better? \nHave test-based accountability systems improved anything? \nThe Testing Charade: Pretending to Make Schools Better answers these questions definitively and authoritatively. \nGet the facts about standardized testing and its implications for Ohio’s students. \nFor decades we’ve been studying\, experimenting with\, and wrangling over different approaches to improving public education\, and there’s still little consensus on what works\, and what to do. The one thing people seem to agree on\, however\, is that schools need to be held accountable—we need to know whether what they’re doing is actually working. But what does that mean in practice? \nHigh-stakes tests. Lots of them. And that has become a major problem. Daniel Koretz\, one of the nation’s foremost experts on educational testing\, argues in The Testing Charade that the whole idea of test-based accountability has failed—it has increasingly become an end in itself\, harming students and corrupting the very ideals of teaching. In this powerful polemic\, built on unimpeachable evidence and rooted in decades of experience with educational testing\, Koretz calls out high-stakes testing as a sham\, a false idol that is ripe for manipulation and shows little evidence of leading to educational improvement. Rather than setting up incentives to divert instructional time to pointless test prep\, he argues\, we need to measure what matters\, and measure it in multiple ways—not just via standardized tests. \nRight now\, we’re lying to ourselves about whether our children are learning. And the longer we accept that lie\, the more damage we do. It’s time to end our blind reliance on high-stakes tests. With The Testing Charade\, Daniel Koretz insists that we face the facts and change course\, and he gives us a blueprint for doing better. \nWhether you are a teacher\, administrator\, parent\, or interested community member\, this book study on The Testing Charade is for you. \nIt will be held at Bethel International United Methodist Church in northwest Columbus\, Ohio. Here’s a link to receive an invitation to this event. https://evite.me/ewXXHTB1dY \nBook available at Barnes and Noble\, Amazon\, other book sellers\, and public libraries.

SUMMARY:ECOT Info Session: Background and Fallout from a Scandal
DESCRIPTION:Sponsored by OH12\, OH15\, OH3\, Public Education Partners (PEP)\, Ohio Coalition for Equity and Adequacy of School Funding\, Plunderbund\, and Ohio BATs. \nSpace is limited. Register here to reserve your spot!\nhttps://act.indivisible.org/event/attend-local-actions/14115 \nOur panel of experts will include:\n– Steve Dyer\, Education Fellow for Innovation Ohio;\n– Denis Smith\, former consultant to the Ohio Department of Education’s charter school office;\n– Rachel Coyle\, former aid to Sen. Joe Schiavoni\, one of the Ohio General Assembly’s leaders in charter school reform;\n– Sandy Theis\, formerly statehouse reporter for 25 years and ProgressOhio Executive Director for 4yrs. While at Progress Ohio\, and still today\, Theis has exposed a series of charter school scandals that have lead to past reforms and inspired current criminal investigations. \nCitizens of the 12th congressional district–and all of Ohio–want to know more about the unfolding scandal surrounding ECOT and other charter schools. The session will discuss questions such as the following:\n– Where did ECOT come from\, how was it able to grow and thrive?\n– How are ECOT and other charters impacting education in Ohio?\n– What were the warning signs that the ECOT model might not be effective\, and that ECOT itself was cutting corners and skimming profits?\n– What were the failures of government oversight? What’s the history there?\n– What is the relationship between these charter schools and our Ohio legislators?\n– What have we learned from critics\, stakeholders\, and whistleblowers about ECOT and other similar schools?\n– How is the expanding scandal likely to affect races in November?\n– How have ECOT and other similar online charters affected all of Ohio’s schools and students?\n– How best can we protect against similar abuses going forward–and at the same time address the fact that parents whose children are in failing or unsafe schools have a right to better options? \nThe event will include time for questions from the audience\, and suggested actions they can take.

SUMMARY:Education Town Hall - Southeast Ohio
DESCRIPTION:Featured speakers: Rep. Jay Edwards (R) from 94th House District which includes Athens\, Meigs\, Vinton and Washington Counties; Sen. Frank Hoagland (represented by Aaron Dauterman) from Senate District 30 which includes Athens\, Belmont\, Carroll\, Harrison\, Jefferson\, Megis\, Monroe\, Noble\, Vinton\, and Washington Counties; and Taylor Sappington\, the declared Democratic 2018 candidate for the 94th House District. \nThe primary goal of the Town Hall is to give our legislators and candidates the opportunity to hear which education issues most concern their constituents and to inform their constituents of their position on education issues. \nAnother goal is to raise awareness of the current effort by the Ohio House Bipartisan Caucus on School Funding to revise Ohio’s currently unconstitutional funding method for public schools. Current reliance on property taxes to fund local schools causes deeper budget deficits in poorer school districts because they lack sufficient property valuation to generate adequate funding. Of the 116 school districts in Southern and Eastern Ohio\, 75 (60%) will be in deficit funding status by the next biennial budget. \nIf you believe that all the children of Ohio should be given the same opportunity to receive an adequate level of education regardless of where they live\, please join us and add your voice to the conversation!
