Assessments are an important part of education and can give information about the effectiveness of a program or classroom. But in a world where learners are at different levels, have various strengths, skills, and abilities--does standardized testing actually accomplish anything? Does it create barriers? Does it actually support teachers? Does it collect meaningful data? Join Kirby and Laura with Special Guest Laura Simzyk of "Olivia's Extraordinary Journey" on part 2 of this special episode where they discuss their unique experiences and bring to light the opportunities that get missed by measuring students all in the same way.
