Federal authorities have mandated that standardized testing take place this spring, but they have left it open to states for how that data is used.
Student and teachers are under stress as schools readjust to in-person learning.
Part of that stress is preparing for mandated state testing after months of remote instruction.
For our special series, Learning Curve, we find there are few answers to the question of how standardized test results will be used this year.

It s a school day at Findley Elementary in Akron, but it s eerily quiet, according to Dean of Students Theresa Essandoh.
“This is our playground, and it’s such a sad sight that there aren’t any kids running around,” she said.
The kids are at home in front of computers.
Classes haven’t been held inside this building since last March when the pandemic first hit. Essandoh says the experience has been surreal.
“It’s very Twilight Zone to have empty classrooms and quiet hallways, empty playgrounds and cafeterias,” she said.
She says going remote radically altered how the classroom setting is used to connect with kids.
