The article Group 2 Pueo chose for this week's current event is a blog from Education Week that talks about teachers trying to be innovative and creative at the same time students are graded on standardized tests that leave no room for creativity. Some thoughts from our group included that teachers shouldn't only teach so their students are able to pass the standardized tests, but also teach them to be creative, think outside the box, and learn to be more creative in general. It is hard for students to express themselves creatively because the standardized tests have almost eliminated it completely. We as teachers need to balance teaching our students to pass tests (because that is how success is currently measured) as well as teach them to be creative and innovative.
