  Case: What are your thoughts about student and teacher accountability?
If you are asked this question in a job interview for a teaching position: What are some things you should avoid when responding to this question? What might be some important points to stress that would get the interviewer's attention? How would you respond to this question?
Solution: (Rates are posted for this solution!)
I would say that, while standardized tests are necessary as a measure of student and teacher success, I believe that they should be a smaller portion of the evaluation. In addition, they would more accurately reflect achievement if they were given a couple of times throughout the year and in smaller portions (the middle school I volunteer at had 2 whole weeks of FCAT testing). However, I would also stress that this is what is required currently and needs to be strictly adhered to and focused upon. I would not argue against it too strongly, but at the same time I would be sure to mention that there needs to be multiple facets of evaluation, rather than a single test given once per year.

Comments: I think that this is a fair personal opinion, but I think the case was asking in more of a guideline way, rather than a literal topic you would bring up.
