Big shoes to fill.I&#8217;m ready to keep working hard for students, educators &amp; families<\/em>\u201d<\/p>\n<p>That said, John King, Jr. comes to the position with some controversy of his own.\u00a0 During his time as the New York State Commissioner of Education (2011- 2014), King was the focus of ire concerning the implementation of Common Core Standards and teacher evaluations.\u00a0 NYS ALLIES for Public Education, a coalition of parents and educators (among others), actively sought King\u2019s resignation due to the implementation of high stakes testing and associated teacher evaluations.\u00a0 Former Assistant Secretary of Education, Dr. Diane Ravitch shared NYSAPE\u2019s release on her blog with numerous comments indicating distaste (<a href=\"http:\/\/dianeravitch.net\/2015\/10\/02\/nysape-john-king-was-a-catastrophe-in-new-york\/\">http:\/\/dianeravitch.net\/2015\/10\/02\/nysape-john-king-was-a-catastrophe-in-new-york\/<\/a>).<\/p>\n<p>Let me assure you, as a father and as an educator, I\u2019m not drinking the Kool Aid of the current testing climate.\u00a0 Don\u2019t get me wrong, I\u2019m a data geek.\u00a0 Ask my coworkers, they\u2019ll attest to my ramblings.\u00a0 Heck, ask my friends- if they wind me up on a related topic I find it hard to shut up.\u00a0 I love data and can get behind its use for anything.\u00a0 I\u2019m not saying that data isn\u2019t useful to the process of education (note, I use the term \u2018process\u2019 as it is ongoing, not a quantifiable destination).\u00a0 No, what I worry about are concepts like \u2018teach-to-the-test.\u2019\u00a0 I see the pressures our Local Education Agencies face when considering options for students.\u00a0 I get notes from my children\u2019s teachers guiding how we should set the food and rest routines during test weeks.\u00a0 I can\u2019t even imagine an environment in which teacher evaluations (and commensurate pay scales) rely upon test results.\u00a0 Suddenly, I am acutely aware that <em>my <\/em>anxiety is nothing in comparison.<\/p>\n<p>Still, I worry.<\/p>\n<p>I worry because what I see at my local level is a group of talented, well-intentioned educators who are invested in trying as hard as they can to support students.\u00a0 They serve as LEA liaisons to our students at Grafton.\u00a0 They work in our classrooms here at Grafton.\u00a0 They teach my children in public school.\u00a0\u00a0 They don\u2019t make policy.\u00a0 They try as hard as they can in the system that has been created outside of their control.<\/p>\n<p>It\u2019s the system that has churned out such pressures that entire schools have sacrificed their integrity to inflate test results, as found in Atlanta, Philadelphia, and Los Angeles, just to name a few.<\/p>\n<p>According to educator\/author\/blogger Nancy Bailey, King\u2019s selection isn\u2019t a sign that our current course will change (<a href=\"http:\/\/nancyebailey.com\/2015\/10\/04\/the-duncanking-robots-and-the-revolving-door\/\">http:\/\/nancyebailey.com\/2015\/10\/04\/the-duncanking-robots-and-the-revolving-door\/<\/a>).\u00a0 She surmises that Common Core may indeed be here to stay, and that the high stakes testing climate will continue to rule the hallways of our schools.<\/p>\n<p>This entire algorithm gets even more complicated for our students whose impact of their disability is directly related to test performance- an anxiety-related disorder, or any number of emotional and\/or learning disabilities.\u00a0 The system presses down on educator and student alike, and I worry that students receiving special education services are even more targeted as \u2018at risk\u2019 populations for test-taking techniques instead of skill acquisition.<\/p>\n<p>So what is the answer?\u00a0 I wish I had an easy one.\u00a0 I worry about how funding is tied to competitive performance.\u00a0 I worry that teacher evaluations can also be tied to that performance.\u00a0 And most importantly I worry how this impacts the way our children are taught and how it is deemed that they learn.\u00a0 I am aware that school reform is a multi-faceted animal that is not easily manipulated.\u00a0 No one sitting in Mr. Duncan\u2019s (or soon to be Mr. King\u2019s) seat holds an enviable position.\u00a0 That said, what I see daily is the impact on our students and on my children, which causes me concern.<\/p>\n<p>All of this is transpiring just over a year prior to the next presidential election in which we may find if an appointment to the position of U.S. Secretary of Education will offer a substantial change- or if Bailey is correct and the revolving door churns out the next \u2018robot.\u2019<\/p>\n<p>And here I thought my greatest worry was trying to shop for those on my Christmas list in time.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Now
