And why wouldn\u2019t they have? After all, the state assessments were comprised of acquisition and low-level meaning-making questions. Couple that with punitive actions taken toward schools \u201cnot making the grade,\u201d scared school boards, and handcuffed administrations, it is no wonder why schools spent significant amounts of time doing test prep and adopting standards-based programs that, if followed verbatim, would promise a school or district improved test scores.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>With an intentional shift to accomplish what\u00a0the Common Core Standards call for, our system as a whole can move past the injustice of the past and lift all of our students to greater heights. We will know when we are on the right path, when our students are able to TRANSFER their learning to multiple situations, many of which they have not yet experienced.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>And, yes, we still do have state assessments. However, these assessments will honor those students who can think differently and apply their learning to situations with which they may not be completely familiar. These assessments will honor those schools and districts that ensure their students think in a manner that promotes TRANSFER. Those students who have been provided a firm foundation from which to build further understanding and application will succeed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>This past summer, over 50 educators in SAU 29 spent three days learning about Understanding by Design and the concept of \u201ctransfer.\u201d The best definition of transfer I have come across is not\u00a0found in any book or peer-reviewed article; rather, a children\u2019s cartoon, full of witty humor, an evil villain, and a secret agent\u00a0platypus named \u201cPerry\u201d provides the perfect description of what \u201ctransfer\u201d actually is.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_genesis_hide_title":false,"_genesis_hide_breadcrumbs":false,"_genesis_hide_singular_image":false,"_genesis_hide_footer_widgets":false,"_genesis_custom_body_class":"","_genesis_custom_post_class":"","_genesis_layout":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[13],"tags":[22],"class_list":{"0":"post-1","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","6":"category-blog","7":"tag-little-letters-from-laura","8":"entry"},"aioseo_notices":[],"featured_image_src":null,"featured_image_src_square":null,"author_info":{"display_name":"Jonathan Hawkins","author_link":"https:\/\/center.antioch.edu\/csc\/author\/jhawkinsantioch-edu\/"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/center.antioch.edu\/csc\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/center.antioch.edu\/csc\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/center.antioch.edu\/csc\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/center.antioch.edu\/csc\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/center.antioch.edu\/csc\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=1"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/center.antioch.edu\/csc\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/center.antioch.edu\/csc\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=1"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/center.antioch.edu\/csc\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=1"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/center.antioch.edu\/csc\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=1"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
