ERASURES!
Are erasures on state test answer sheets unethical?

Unethical!Clean up of stray marks and smudges is a requirement for
accurate scoring!

UNETHICAL BEHAVIOR IN THE NEWS…
Would you pay someone to take a teacher education exam like the PRAXIS or the GACE?
It does happen!Teachers Embroiled in Test-Taking Fraud

WHAT ABOUT THE COGAT?
So far, we have learned about ethical practices on State Assessments.
What are the ethical practices when giving a standardized test such as the CogAT?

IN TODAY’S TECHNOLOGICAL WORLD…
Can testing of any kind truly be immune from…
Unethical behavior? Cheating? Bias?

HOW HAS THE CURRENT TESTING CULTURE IMPACTED GIFTED TESTING IN FORSYTH COUNTY?
In other words, why is it taking so long to get kids qualified for the gifted program?
![Page 18: Vsu pba #9 testing code of ethics](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022070319/557eab46d8b42ac5658b509e/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
OLD WAY NEW WAY Multiple testing windows. G/T teachers had direct access
to test materials. G/T Lead Teacher was
responsible for test security and accountability.
G/T teachers could score and norm tests in school and shortly after students took tests.
The testing process was fluid. This means that the G/T teacher could administer all four tests within a month or two.
Three testing windows. School Test Coordinator (STC) must
order specific quantities of tests from the CO.
STC must go to RAC to pick up tests. They must be secured upon arrival to the school.
Tests are sent to Riverside to be scored and normed. This usually takes at least three weeks.
The Torrance Test of Creative Thinking takes approximately 7 weeks to return.
If a Tier 2 test is needed, the STC must submit a required form to the County Gifted Coordinator and the County Test Coordinator as proof and reasoning for a Tier 2 Test.
