Berkshire Hills seeks innovative alternatives to standardized testing
Nov 17, 2014 | Uncategorized
Imagine a realm where your progress as a student is judged by much more than standardized test scores, and where support for your interests and strengths harnesses your achievement power.
That realm may already exist in the Berkshire Hills Regional School District, but it is about to be enhanced. Berkshire Hills just won a spot in a competitive national program to improve learning and teaching.
The NEA Foundation Institute for Innovation in Teaching and Learning selected the district for its commitment to helping “students who are currently not learning at levels equal to their peers,” said Bonnie Cullison, the Institute’s Vice President of Programs. “We’re interested in districts that want to close the achievement gap.”
