Atlanta Teachers Cheated To Improve Test Scores
ATLANTA — 178 teachers and principals in 44 schools have cheated to improve their school’s test score according to an investigation by the state of Georgia. The New York Times reports:
Still, the investigation shows that cheating on the state-mandated Criterion-Referenced Competency Test began as early as 2001, and that “clear and significant” warnings were raised as early as December 2005. Dr. Hall’s administration punished whistle-blowers, hid or manipulated information and illegally altered documents related to the tests, the investigation found. The superintendent and her administration “emphasized test results and public praise to the exclusion of integrity and ethics,” the investigators wrote.
