Alternatives

This assignment was kind of difficult for me since mine isn’t a tangible product being sold but rather a change of a current service. My implementation is the change of the current testing  system in the state of Florida. One of the biggest post measurements that I received after my interviews was cost of implementation and college readiness. In an effort to alleviate the price I suggested that we should do it on the computer where we limit the opportunity to cheat. The interviews also were concerned with the education levels in that would they have the sufficient amount of information for the students to be collegiate ready. Another concern that came up would be since the test would be administered every two years, how would that affect the integration of two different teachers. Lastly, the concern was in relation to other states and how students from he state of Florida would fair in competitiveness.  Again this made things that much more difficult since if this were to be implemented that it would have to be statewide. However, upon the conclusion of my interviews, I came up with doing a trial run in locations with schools that are already at a high level as to not impede any educational progress. So overall, my interviews were very informative and insightful in that this is something that would need to be discussed with the board of directors and would involve a lot of politics. As a result I have changed my focus to start off smaller in that I would start an after school program with the different mindset to have statistical data for when I eventually propose the district and then statewide change.
