When Test Proctoring Fails: My EOY Dilemma 😳

Confidant, have you ever watched your students soar all year, only to see their scores nosedive at the finish line? That’s my reality. In three classes, growth was solid. But my top group? A shocking plunge—except for the two with hyper-involved parents. The twist? Right before testing, admin locked us down due to fights. I barely saw my kids, and their homeroom teacher, who believes ELA is just AI now, let them coast. The proctor? He’s famous for his phone, not for following rules. Kids napped, wandered, and he didn’t even give time warnings. Now, my career record takes the hit. Is it worth raising a flag? Or do I just swallow this bitter pill? If you’ve faced this circus, how did you handle it? Maybe I’m missing a clever fix. Drop your thoughts—maybe together we’ll crack the code. 🤔🔥 #Education #Testing #TeacherLife

When Every Student Gets Accommodations: A Testing Dilemma

Let me take you on a journey through the bustling halls of my elementary school, where the end-of-year diagnostic tests have taken an unexpected twist. Imagine my surprise when I discovered that the read-aloud feature—once reserved for students with specific needs—was now available to every single child. At first, I thought I’d stumbled into an alternate universe! 😳 This sudden change left me questioning everything: Are we truly measuring reading comprehension, or just listening skills? The results are soaring, but does that mean our students have genuinely leaped ahead, or are we just inflating the numbers? My concerns fell on deaf ears, and now I’m left wondering if I’m the only one who sees the red flags waving. Have you ever faced a similar conundrum? Is it fair, or are we just fooling ourselves? Please, share your wisdom below—maybe together, we can find a path that honors both equity and accuracy. 🧐💬 #Education #Testing #Accommodations
