While I have an opinion about assessment in general and the FSAs in particular, I have hesitated to write much about it this year. (I’ve written about FSAs in the past and I may post an article or two if there is interest)
My reason for hesitating is simple. I do not believe this issue is, at its root, about FSAs at all.
Today, BCCPAC published a parents guide to the FSA (Foundation Skill Assessment) tests. It was put together by a committee in response to an AGM motion. I think the committee has done a good job of presenting a factual, non partisan information sheet. It’s a complicated subject and deserves more attention from parents than some of the political sound bytes might suggest.
BCCPAC’s information sheet can be found here.
