Appreciate the enthusiasm and I’m all for trying. Still don’t think it’s pragmatic. > don’t give the teachers the test questions beforehand This is already the case, except for all of the practice questions that students are drilled over weeks before the actual test. Teachers simply could apply the test-taking strategies in real-time more efficiently than students to arrive at and share the answer. Honestly I believe most teachers have too much integrity and we are solving for edge cases (per earlier comment about Tennessee experiment). Nonetheless all of these tactics are too naive for fed/state/local systems chock full of perverse incentives. > It’ll give the teachers a way to make more money, making teaching more attractive A few seconds of thought: “give the proposed money to teachers upfront.” Why should there be more hoops to jump through towards a sustainable career in one of the toughest jobs? Why give Big Publishers (assessment, implementation and rubric developers) even more influence over perceived teacher quality than say parents, or everyday taxpayers who would foot the bill?
