Ohio calls for shortening PARCC, moratorium on accountability measures

More from Ohio: their Senate Advisory Committee last night released their PARCC report:

State Sen. Peggy Lehner, who created the committee, said the group of teachers, superintendents and legislators unanimously made several recommendations Wednesday.

Among them:

- Cut the new tests from one round (in February and March) and a second round (in April and May) to just one round in May.

- Make them shorter.

- Wait three years until people are comfortable with the new state and Common Core standards and tests before holding students, schools or teachers accountable for poor scores.

- Let the Ohio Department of Education decide which vendor should provide the tests.
