Where are all the resources???

I loved QCC standards!!! They were succinct and there were tons of materials available for students to practice and remediate. Those were also the days of 100% of students meeting expectations on the CRCT. Remember the CRCT? How I miss those days! I am all for rigor and the critical thinking that comes along with Common Core and Milestone exams, but for crying out loud, where are the resources?!? Most textbooks say they are Common Core aligned, but actually are not if you take the time to compare the standards against what is presented in the text. Also, what does the Milestone exam and EOC look like? It seems that no one really knows anymore. In the past, Coach books would publish a post test that I believed aligned perfectly with the CRCT exam. I used it as a Mock test a month before the CRCT and knew that if students passed the post test, they were fine, and if student failed the post test, they needed remediation. Coach also had books that supported remediation like Ladders for Success. Nowadays, there is just one Coach book for the EOC. The questions in it look nothing like the EOC, and there are no remediation texts. Scores are much lower, in part because no one knows what to expect on the test and there aren’t enough resources available to have students practice and remediate. Before, textbook companies provided the resources and teachers taught. But now teachers are expected to create the resources, teach and get results. Results that teachers, and leaders are held responsible for. Personally, I think it is a simple fix; provide teachers and schools with resources!!! Expired test items should be released like they used to be. This is how AP, IB, the SAT, ACT and GRE work. When you are preparing for any of the above tests, you purchase the respective book filled with practice tests and sample questions to familiarize yourself with the test, so why not for the EOCs and the Milestones?
