Wokas said teachers see final exam data as an important indicator for assessing district efforts in closing the achievement gaps that exist by race and ethnicity in Montgomery.

No numerical results of the survey were released, which Wokas said was because the union thought its analysis and summary would better reflect the depth of comments teachers provided and spur a more detailed dialogue about assessments.

Wokas said many teachers also thought final exams were important preparation for the Advanced Placement and International Baccalaureate exams many students take.
