Cite at least $2$ specific supporting examples in your post for why testing

In a reply post to one of your classmate's arguments for standardized

testing formulate a rebuttal to their support of standardized tests by

offering an ALTERNATIVE assessment that could achieve the same advances

to learning, growth, and success. You may need to look to some additional

external sources to find alternative assessments; please cite your sources as

needed! $($n$.$b$.$ I have added a few resources in the Looking at Assessment

in a new way folder that may be helpful to you.$)$ REPLY Posts are due by
