Across the
country, at Mountlake Terrace High School, in Mountlake Terrace, Washington, geometry
teacher Eeva Reeder began implementing performance - based assessments
when she recognized a disturbing pattern among her students: They could pass a test with flying colors but had considerable difficulty transferring knowledge and skills
from one unit to the next.
I'm not an alarmist, and there are many challenges
when comparing mental health
across generations, but the combination of what the best data tell us and what
teachers and counselors
from across the
country told me is... scary.
