EdNC Elizabeth Ouzts : State Superintendent Catherine Truitt calls for new school accountability metrics, focus on ‘careers for all’ - During the meeting, Truitt promoted her initiative, Operation Polaris, named after the Latin word for the North Star. “My North Star is that every child in North Carolina must have a highly effective and excellent teacher in every classroom,” Truitt said. The Polaris plan has four “satellites”: literacy, student support, teachers, and accountability. Truitt concentrated most of her remarks Tuesday on the latter, arguing that the state’s current measures of student success are too weighted toward “high stakes, one-and-done, end-of-grade tests,” the outcomes of which arrive too late for a teacher to do anything about them.
EdNC Alex Granados : Legislative committee on COVID relief spending hears about nutrition, technology in schools - Rep. James Boles, R-Moore, a co-chair of the committee, made general remarks on the use of federal COVID-19 spending on education at the end of the meeting. Boles said: “We see that there’s been a lot of federal COVID relief funding provided to the DPI … some of the money was well spent, but unfortunately with some of it, we are unable to measure its effectiveness at this time. It is evident that based on the continuing low percentage of students with reading and math proficiency … there is a lot of work to be done.”
