Recently, NYSUT President Melinda Person visited three public high schools that are part of the New York Performance Standards Consortium.  These schools emphasize hands-learning and evaluate students using real-world skills instead of standardized tests.  With a state waiver to forgo most Regents exams, these institutions are at the forefront of an educational shift towards preparing students more effectively for college, careers and life beyond school.  "We're showcasing schools statewide where both students and adults flourish, " President Person notes.  "This model not only excites students about education but also frames learning as a lifelong journey rather than a simple pass or fail.  This educational model exemplifies many of the recommendations  from NYSUT'S More Teaching Less Testing Task Force Report.
