Finals

My students take their math finals the next two days.  I think it is an extremely easy final.  It is a district wide final that all students are to take.  The problem is that not all the students will take it in the same way.  Some students will be able to use notes and come back at a later time in the day to 'finish' their test.  My students will not use notes and will be required to finish in one sitting each day.  The tests will be scored at the district office and comparisons will be made between teachers... but the tests need to be administered in an equal way to create a 'level playing field.'

I suggested that the tests at each school be given arena style in the gym like they do for SAT testing.  Every school would give the test on the same day using the same guidelines.

LEVEL.

As the emphasis on teacher accountability for student's improving increases, test integrity will need to be guaranteed.
