No teacher wants to believe her students are cheating, but they probably are. And if the kids put half the time into studying that they put into figuring out how to cheat, there’d be a lot more “A” students in the world. So take time today to implement a few simple changes to address the cheating crisis.
Stop It Before It Starts
Establish a Clear Policy of Rules and Repercussions
Establish a clear policy and tell students in advance – points off the test, a zero, a letter home. Make sure it’s in line with any school or district policies, but make sure it has “teeth.” A gentle reminder about the policy during a test may be all you need to persuade a potential cheater to keep her eyes on her own paper.
