As Latin educators, it is our responsibility to ensure that the new Latin licensure test administered by Pearson Education, Inc. is aligned not only with the Common Core Standards but also with what we do in our classrooms. We need Pearson Education, Inc. to revisit and revise the current test with more input from Latin teachers and professors in order to create a more accurate and focused test.

I have been spending my evenings reviewing the exam questions alongside colleagues who face these same frustrations in their own classrooms. It is disheartening to see how disconnected the current testing standards are from the actual curriculum we teach our students every day. We are continuing to compile these specific critiques to ensure Pearson understands exactly why a revision is necessary.

Seeing so many colleagues rally around this issue proves that I am not the only one frustrated by the current state of our licensing exams. It brings me immense relief to know that our shared classroom experiences are finally being recognized as the standard for what this test should actually cover.

The current test is a total mess. It doesnt even reflect what we actually teach in the classroom. Pearson needs to listen to the people who actually know the subject matter instead of just pushing this through.

Ridiculous that they didnt talk to teachers before making this. latin is hard enough without a bad exam getting in the way.
