With those huge classrooms, each of them with a brand new computer, a lot of materials, of course it's possible. Well, at least they know how to take advantage of their economic facilities and tools

Standardized testing is the enemy. This is a great idea. However, many states rate regular public schools based on sets of questions that cannot be mastered by completing projects.

I am interested in authentic assessment for this kind of work. It looks like teachers work together quite often and have the time to do so. What are the ways that teachers assess that kids understand the standards. Formative seems the be the main assessment strategy.
