Winerip's first «On Education» tour began on January 8, 2003, with «How New York Exams Rewrite Literature (A Sequel), a followup to what has to be one of the more
bizarre education testing stories of the last decade, «The Elderly Man and the Sea?
But then, in a
bizarre move that appears to be yet another attempt to acquiesce to Governor Dannel Malloy and Lt. Governor Nancy Wyman's ongoing
education reform and anti-teacher agenda, the leader of the CEA claims that although the state should not use the unfair, inappropriate and discriminatory Common Core SBAC
test as part of the state's teacher evaluation program, it is okay to use the NWEA's MAP standardized
test as a teacher evaluation tool.
