Commission on Student Success Report
OEA and its members have been clear in pointing out problems with the current “test-label-punish” culture and have lobbied against misguided and harmful policies on testing, teacher evaluation and school accountability. The recommendations contained in this report lay out a positive vision for a coordinated system of student assessment, educator quality, and school accountability designed to set students up for success. On behalf of the 123,000 OEA members who go to work every day in service to Ohio’s students, the Commission on Student Success offers in this report a model for reinvigorating a love of learning in our classrooms and changing Ohio’s public education system into one that upholds creativity over standardization.
