Abstract
Neal Kingston will not sing about where testing needs to go.
That's great, testing needs an earthquake;
E C D, and D C M, and Embretson is not afraid;
Eye of a hurricane, Markov chains must churn;
Testing serves its own needs, must serve learning needs;
Instruct embedded tests, grunt, more strength;
Learning ladder starts to clatter with a fearsome trajectory;
Valid’s looking pallid, represent with stealth games;
Higher standards are for hire on a cheating site;
Formative assessment in a hurry with the Feds breathing down your neck;
State by state, teachers baffled, trumped, tethered, cropped;
Look at those low scores, fine, then;
Uh¬oh, over-tested, population, common core;
But it'll do, test yourself, best yourself;
Testing purpose ask why, students and the teachers cry;
Tell me your scores are valid and your consequences are right, right;
You’re estimated, validated, pub. fight, pub. right;
Learning map it, psyched;
It's the end of testing as we know it;
It's the end of testing as we know it;
It's the end of testing as we know it, and I feel fine.
