Personalized Adaptive Assessment

Started by Julie Jumes

Having done much research and published in the area of Computer Science Education, and as a Texas parent of six, I am very concerned with the way technology has been used in the past five years to manipulate and indoctrinate (CSCOPE/Common Core) students rather than equip parents.

AG Abbott ‘ s plan looks to incorporate technology extensively in the proposed “Gold Standard Pre K” and K-3 improvements. Is personalized adaptive assessment part of the Pre K – 3 plan? How will you protect Texas children from the dangers of adaptive assessment spoken of by Dr Peg Luksik?

Can we have direct parental choices for all personalized computer adaptive tools used with our children? Educating parents about the potential harms and providing alternatives would help eliminate the risks so clearly stated in the above video. (Ex Govt testing and tracking students for things like adaption to change without protest.) Adaptive tools don’t provide transparency and don’t encourage parental involvement, both desperately needed for “#1 in Education”.

Money spent on defining and assessing a state “Gold Standard Pre K” comes out of the family budgets of parents. It will further solidify one thing we are teaching our children very well: “We can not self govern. We must depend on the state to tell us what and how to learn and to make sure we do it…according to the state’s standard.”
