76 Georgia Not Only State With Questionable Test Scores 76
77 Nationwide Problem Over 196 of the largest 3,125 school systems in the United States has suspect test score improvement Odds of obtaining these reported results by chance alone is over 1000 to 1 In 33 of these school systems, the odds were worse than 1,000,000 to 1 77
78 Testing United States spends $760,000,000 a year on testing required by NCLB States are left to their own in monitoring the testing Most states do not have resources to conduct investigations of this magnitude One graduate student, in her dissertation, surveyed teachers in her state and found that 50% of teachers either had cheated or knew a colleague who had cheated 78
79 With a good testing program: Students know the skills and knowledge they have mastered and how they compare to others. Parents can evaluate whether their children are obtaining the skills and knowledge they need. Teachers can determine if students have mastered the skills and knowledge needed to advance to the next level. Community members have a measuring stick for student performance.
80 Major Testing Violations Breach of Test Security Fail to provide or attend training Fail to follow directions specified in the manual Coach, prompt, alter or provide answers to students during the test Interpret, explain, or paraphrase test items Copy or take notes on test items 80

84 Lessons Learned Establish an environment conducive to student learning and test score improvement Require training for all participants with similar information and format at all training sessions Require available staff to monitor during testing Test security is paramount 84
85 Lessons Learned Investigate all allegations and complaints thoroughly - consider involvement of outside investigators Large increases in student test scores are a red flag Having knowledge of testing violations and failing to report jeopardizes teaching certificate Superintendents, Principals, and Test Coordinators are ultimately responsible 85
86 Other Grounds for Disciplinary Action against a Certificate
87 Other Grounds for Disciplinary Action: Disciplinary action against a certificate in another state on grounds consistent with those specified in the Code of Ethics for Educators. Order from a court or a request from DHR that a certificate be suspended or denied for non-payment of child support.
