Best Practice: Stop Cheating
Many students need additional guidance from the online facilitator to ensure that cheating is not occurring especially during tests and quizzes. Remember that with brain development, most youth do not have impulse control and may make inappropriate decisions - like cheating on tests and quizzes. Many students of mine have reported throwing a "pizza party" to get their smart friends over to their home to take their evaluations for online courses. For all online classes including Credit Recovery, Hybrid, and Online learning, I highly recommend that you have the students take their online evaluations in a classroom with a teacher present. This would help another aspect of online cheating. The lack of changes made to online evaluations from one session to another. For the future, I would like to see a merge between test generator programs and online evaluations in mathematics. This way every student would have the basic same format of test but with different numbers in every problem. //Tracy Phariss, Math Teacher, Golden High School//
