Lesson (re)Learned: Kentucky faces challenges with constructed-response questions on Common Core assessments

In the early 1990s, KY attempted to use constructed-response test items as part of its school accountability system; the results were unusable. Despite this, the state pursued the same goal with its new Common Core assessments and, not surprisingly, came to the same conclusion as before. See a press release on the subject from the Bluegrass Institute for Public Policy Solutions, and a chapter on this exact issue from Dr. George Cunningham.
