From Lou Kruger, whose film Children Left Behind has created a stir!
Lou writes: “I am pleased to invite you to a strategy summit devoted to reforming the Massachusetts Comprehensive Assessment System (MCAS). The purpose of this summit is to develop an overarching, multi-year action plan that will result in the MCAS being aligned with best practices in assessment, the education of the whole child, and the principles of social justice. Our intent is to bring together a diverse coalition of concerned citizens, who will provide leadership to a coordinated, sustained and statewide strategy that will result in a new and improved MCAS.
Your input and leadership is vital to the success of this endeavor. Please join concerned citizens from across the state at this important strategy summit.
The summit will be held from 9 AM to 12:30 PM, on Saturday April 10th in Room 19 of International Village at Northeastern University’s Boston Campus.”
