The Reading Instruction Competence Assessment is one of the newest ways for credentialing commissions to determine the teaching skills of their applicants. It�s easy and convenient, as neither actual students nor actual teaching is necessary to determine one�s skill in teaching literacy. But I�m not here to tout the current trend (is that too weak?), no, stampede towards standardized tests in all levels of education. This one singular example of a teacher preparation student questioning the usefulness of her critical literacy class speaks volumes�not about teaching so much as learning.
Tell me and I forget. Show me and I remember. Involve me and I understand.
