A group of 20 schools in Missouri has received a waiver from the state to halt end-of-school standardized testing for students in lieu of interim assessments that direct how teachers and administrators will provide instruction. The schools are part of the Success-Ready Students Network and see the state Board of Education’s decision Tuesday to waive annual assessment requirements as a way to better provide competency-based learning to students. The state board voted unanimously to approve the “innovation waivers,” which will absolve the school districts of state requirements to test students for three years as the schools pursue competency-based learning.
