ABOUT JNJT: We are a group of educators who oppose the current policy of high stakes standardized testing and we recognize the need to prepare students to be successful on these gatekeeping exams, but at the same time we educators also have a professional responsibility to organize against tests that have a racist and classist history, benefit the private sector over the public and keep our pedagogy within a box. |
| The Justice Not Just Tests (JNJT) working group aims to organize around high-stakes standardized testing issues and to advocate for alternatives to high-stakes testing. | |
