| MCAS:
Position Statement of the CCE Board
The Center for Collaborative Education affirms that the current MCAS (Massachusetts Comprehensive Assessment System) is a test and not a comprehensive assessment system, that a single score on a test should never stand as the sole measure of a student’s knowledge, understandings, performance, and intellectual habits, that the use of a test for high stakes decisions is not educationally defensible, and that more appropriate accountability systems are possible. With this in mind, the Center should begin working with a cross section of schools and districts to develop a more comprehensive system of assessment to demonstrate the richer possibilities for supporting good education and accountability.
