Lincoln High School in Lake City made the Challenge List put out by the Washington Post and their school rankings. The Challenge List recognizes schools that have challenged students through Advanced Placement (AP) participation numbers. All schools that have a ratio (number of AP tests given/number of graduating seniors) on one or greater make the list. This list is based on 2010 AP participation numbers. Thirty one schools in Minnesota made the 2011 list.

Diane Ravitch - Testing and Evaluation

2011-06-02T19:39:00.000-07:00

Another great article from Diane Ravitch (via the Washington Post) on testing and the national push to use these to evaluate teachers. All of the research points to the ineffectiveness for test scores to be used so highly in teacher evaluation. With a society so focused on data driven, research based, best practice approaches, why do we ignore it in this case?
