35% of French speakers who wrote the mandatory Math Proficiency Test failed. The #mpt is poorly translated. With odds like that, would you risk doing your B.Ed? I wouldn't. Start there, Stephen Lecce. Marit Stiles otcc.ca #onted #onpoli AEFO

Delays, translation problems and punitive fees are just a few of the concerns that continue to plague the government's Math Proficiency Test rollout. Laura Mae Lindo, Guy Bourgouin and I wrote to Minister Lecce (again) on behalf of teacher candidates. maritstiles.ca/math_proficien…

Problem upon problem, issue upon issue, will the Minister of Education ever get this right? Had to write again to Stephen Lecce, about the Math Proficiency Test, this time with Marit Stiles and Guy Bourgouin. The clock is ticking. #dobetter #onpoli

youtu.be/BzenpVdLZss otcc.ca v Ontario The issue of the Math Proficiency Test for teacher candidates goes before the Superior Court Tuesday at 10 a.m. Catholic Teachers OSSTF Communications Elementary Educators @ONT_Dad Angry Art Gal Jacquie Miller Kristin Rushowy @ACEPOntario Mike Foulds Colin D'Mello | Global News

29.7% MPT failure rate for Black teacher candidates; 9.5% failure rate for white teacher candidates. 3:1 ratio. Was the MPT designed well for everyone or just some?

26% of the Ontario student population is racialized. But only 13% of teachers are from racialized groups. Students from racialized groups do better academically when their teachers are racialized. A less diverse teaching population limits academic success for racialized students.

"Tests like this are a biased barrier." This is a quote regarding the EQAO's own research on high stakes tests (all or nothing). From their own report. They removed the report. Doesn't mean it doesn't exist.

Highlight: a justice sought clarification on the MPT pedagogy part. The pedagogy section doesn't test math pedagogy? No. It's material from two govt publications and 3 questions about math teaching. She said, a PhD in math can't necessarily teach math. You need to show pedagogy!

I am pleased to say the Superior Court of Justice has determined that the legislative provisions that created the Math Proficiency Test are of no force and effect.

Now THIS is an awesome early Christmas gift to the teaching profession. Well done Ontario Teacher Candidate Council. This is quite the decision. Another education failure for Lecce and Ford.
