...Under the plan presented Tuesday, centrally developed end-of-semester
exams in middle school courses would be eliminated in the coming school
year (2015-2016). Further discussion will be held on Bowers’ plan for
high school exams, which would eliminate end-of-semester exams in the
second semester of next school year in subjects for which there are
already Maryland state end-of-course tests—Algebra 1, English 10,
Biology, and Government. Bowers’ plan would eliminate all
end-of-semester exams in high schools the following year (2016-2017) and
would instead use in-class assessments that are given throughout the
school year, including unit tests, essays, projects, document-based
questions, and more.
In the coming weeks, the Board’s Policy Management Committee will
begin reviewing the impact that eliminating exams in high school would
have on Board policies and district regulations. Public feedback will be
gathered on any substantial changes to these policies...
