Who I Am
I am student teacher at a large urban high school. My student teaching program is unique because it allows me to student teach for a college academic year while taking graduate courses.

What I’m Doing
I am researching standardized testing in our public school system. I want to know if standardized testing helps or harms teachers and students.

Why I’m Doing It
As a new teacher, I want to know how I can best contribute to the school I will work with and community I will live in.

Why I Need Your Help
You work with the students of our public schools everyday and I believe that you have some of the most important insight that will help me learn about successful schools.

Please Answer the Following Questions

1. What makes a school successful?

2. What do you need to be a successful teacher?

3. How often do you evaluate your lessons? How do you do so?

4. How do you provide feedback to your students? How often?

5. How do you assess what your students have learned?

6. What are the advantages of standardized testing? What are the disadvantages?
