Usually, I just do a once-a-week “round-up” of good posts and articles on education policy issues. However, I’m a bit backlogged, so here’s a special edition:

New Common Core tests: Worth the price? is from The Washington Post. I’m adding it to The Best Resources For Learning About The “Next Generation” Of State Testing.
