Marion, with Lorrie Shephard, wrote one half of an Education Next forum, “Focus on Instruction and Intervention, Not Testing, in 2021.” The complete forum, “Statewide Assessments in 2021,” is available now.

The EdNext Podcast is available on iTunes, Google Play, Soundcloud, Stitcher and here every Wednesday.
