TNReady problems in 2018
The superintendents of the state’s two largest school districts declared in a Friday letter “no confidence” in TNReady after numerous years of problems.
Shelby County Schools Director Dorsey Hopson and Metro Nashville Public Schools Director Shawn Joseph issued the letter to call for the state to halt the standardized assessment and convene a statewide educator working group to sort out the challenges.
The letter from Hopson and Joseph comes after yet another year of TNReady problems.
Hopson said of the testing snafus that “there’s just such a level of dejection” from teachers and administrators.
This year, after initially believing there was a “deliberate attack” against the state’s vendor, it was revealed that Questar Assessment made unauthorized changes to the online test that caused issues for students.
Lawmakers intervened as the test was being administered statewide, ensuring TNReady results didn’t hurt students, teachers or districts.
Last year, the state’s vendor incorrectly graded some paper tests, causing widespread questions from teachers and lawmakers.
And in 2016, under the state’s first vendor, the online test was canceled entirely, with high school students taking a paper version of the test. Measurement Inc., the vendor, wasn’t able to deliver paper tests on time to elementary and middle schools.
