I have noticed that many of the assessment questions assigned on my district assessments do not fit with the standards. I brought this to the attention of my administrators and they said because it is district assessments that I must give it to the students. I just don't agree with this, I even offered to remake the tests and was told no. What could I do when I don't believe in something, but am told another? Solution: (Rates are posted for this solution!) With that situation, you must do what your administration tells you to do. If an assessment is district-wide, there isn't much you can do individually to change it. You may be able to ask and find out when the district will be revising the assessments, and ask to be on the committee that does that. I know in our district, we sent a few teachers from each department to represent our school and assist in creating/revising these types of assessments.
