S02E17: Taking On The Balance Of Teaching And Testing

The NDP regulars geek out on education this week with director of the Comprehensive Instructional Program Matt Hurt. This program, which more than 70 school districts in Virginia participate in, has delivered some eye-popping results on SOL testing. Special guest Audrey Rackley - a longtime history teacher at James Monroe High School - joins the discussion as we learn what CIP is, how it works, and the tension between testing and intangibles that lead to academic success.
