Teachers: "What I could do with my students if it weren't for MCAS pressure."

The Mass. Teachers Association has produced a great, short video in which Taunton teachers talk about the impact of testing pressure on their teaching. They tell what they would do different -- and better -- if they didn't have to do so much test prep. Some of it, they do after MCAS. But if the new PARCC tests replace MCAS, there won't be any period after MCAS for creative, "21st century" teaching because the last PARCC wave of PARCC tests are at the end of the year.
