    The kind of assessment you are talking about is ... what good teachers do every day. ... Literally every month I have ever taught, my principal has been in the room at least once

It sounds like you're in a pretty good school district. Why would you want to deal with the distraction of standardized testing? Is it because of the funding system?

    I have been in charge of department level curriculum development based on standards like Common Core.

Be honest, haven't there been times when you've thought that your school could do better for its students without those standards dictating what you should test for?
