Kids are overtested at the expense of teaching and learning
Today’s crisis in Idaho education has been caused by an amalgamation of high stakes testing, accountability, markets and privatization tied to the Common Core. Educators often feel compelled to put test preparation ahead of richer forms of teaching.
Change begins by supporting public schools
Applaud efforts that make schools better.
Celebrate and support our teachers
If they are to excel in their craft and be satisfied with their careers, even the most talented and gifted teachers require a good foundation and apprenticeship, a lifetime of challenging work environment, and ongoing education.
Children’s book illustrates Idaho treasures
The book “P is for Potato: An Idaho Alphabet” is part of a state-by-state series yet is as unique as Idaho itself.
