Case: Administrative Woes
Mrs. Banks and her sixth grade colleagues are having an issue with giving assessments. The district mandates each content-area department to give a nine-weeks exam that covers all material taught during each grading period. The assessment contains between thirty to forty multiple-choice questions and two constructed-response questions for each content area. Many students are not finishing the assessments within the one class period allotted; therefore, teachers are taking two days to give nine-weeks exams. The administration have instructed teachers to give the exam in one day, whether the students have finished or not. How should Mrs. Banks and her team handle this situation? Should the teachers test for one day and not allow the students to finish to appease the administration? How will they collect effective data if the students do not complete the assessment?
Solution: (Rates are posted for this solution!)
This is a difficult situation, as it is often difficult to get around administrative conditions. I would suggest working with the other teachers to set up a different schedule for test days. This schedule would allow students enough time to complete their tests. They can present this suggested idea with the argument that incomplete tests will not provide adequate data in terms of determining what students have and have not mastered. |

| Comments: I agree, you should work with your team to get students to finish. Usually, they only have a few problems to finish up and could easily use the first 10-15 minutes to finish up, which most teachers allocate the first 10 at my school to silent reading and warm-up/homework review takes another 15. Not to say this is not important in the other classes, but I am sure we can work together to help students succeed on assessments. |

| Comments: I agree you shouldn't punish the students or yourself for time restriction, this may not even be legal, many students have 504, and IEP which provides them extra time on exams |
