The Broken Copier

Let's Talk About Testing


Listen Later

Recently, Adrian Neibauer wrote a reflective piece about his experience with standardized testing that began with these words: I’m a hypocrite.

In today’s episode of The Broken Copier, he shares more about the conversation with his own children that resulted in these words—along with the myriad, contradictory feelings he has about testing in this current moment.

Also: how do you feel as a teacher when it comes to standardized testing? Feel free to answer in the Substack comments or, if you’re inspired, to leave an audio message via Fanlist that we may respond to on a future episode.

Finally, thanks, as always, to: Alberto Lugo, one of Jim’s former students, for writing and recording original intro music; Tom Csatari for allowing us to use his band’s recording of “Woodstock” from their 2020 album, Garden; and Courtney Milavec for graphic design.

Find Tom’s work at uncivilizedtom.com, and on Instagram @banduncivilized.
