Did RSU 2 share false NAEP data to push RISC reform?

Today, the Kennebec Journal added a clarification to their RSU 2 article from October 22nd. RSU 2 shared "their" NAEP results with their parents. They used this data as an argument to switch to the RISC model of Standards Based Education. There was one slight problem....individual districts in Maine have NO WAY of learning their NAEP data. This Federal test only gives the results for the entire state.

If you are trying to create a case that reform needs to take place....use REAL data!

  1. Clarification from the Kennebec Journal: National Assessment of Educational Progress scores are not available for individual school districts, though the scores were presented as such at the RSU 2 meeting.
