  Case: State test administration
Your students are talking with each other about a state test administration given the previous day, and you hear them mention that your colleague who was proctoring the exam gave several students "clues" that assisted them in answering some questions. What would you do?
Solution: (Rates are posted for this solution!)
It would be in your best interest to relay the information to a school administrator. Once you have information such as this, you can be held accountable for not passing on the information to administration. State tests are usually very serious, and the state does not take the rules lightly. Providing students with answers is something that will be dealt with, and considering that the students are already talking about it, it is only a matter of time before this will come to light. It would be better to not become involved with it by not providing this information to the administration. I would also let the colleague know that you overheard this, and for your own sake will have to let administration know.

Comments: I agree with this solution because you should notify the administration immediately and not take this as a joke. Also confronting the colleague that you will be letting them know may be best for your personal relationship.

Comments: Even though it is a good idea to be accountable for passing this info on rather than being silent to the admin, I do no think it is appropriate to discuss your actions with the colleague who helped the students. Instead, this discussion needs to be formally held between the colleague and admin.
