Folks, testing is the main reason I retired. Actually the counseling organizations tell you testing is NOT our job; and Testing Co-ordinator--you do the work, principal signs papers! After I retired our system hired a full-time Test Coordinator!!

Ditto. I am not only test
coordinator, but I also teach
alternative all day, am the school counselor, website
director, ISIS
coordinator and multiple other jobs. I am tired of all
of this testing
setup. I am beginning to think that I am getting
Alzheimer’s
because I can’t keep up with anything anymore. I
was working until
8 or 9 every night but I refuse to do it anymore.
Please take testing
away from us. I used to love the testing aspect of my
job, but now I hate
to get emails, especially when I have to unload content that
I have just
loaded. Oh, I am also the technology
coordinator. Please let us get
through this testing season because summer is just right
around the corner.

Well, when I did the
Webinar and they didn't know what a
Portfolio was, I lost all faith. And they say the
Writing test can't be
read aloud to IEP students---not sure they know what
they're talking
about. And those materials come during OCCT
testing. How many
people do they think are building test coordinators because
I can only stretch
so far. Evidently they have no idea how long it takes
to box tests up and
mail back. After a certain point, our schedule is
filled with end of year
activities that we cannot all of a sudden cancel or
reschedule.
Yes! Rant, Rant, Rant! Gail Fine, Sallisaw

Does
anyone want to join me on a RANT at the rally about 3-4
testing companies next
year and all the work of the upcoming tryout tests? Too much
time and energy is
being spent in Oklahoma on poorly designed tests that make
an A-F report card.

Calling all
rural Oklahoma high schools, we are currently trying to
incorporate Spanish as
a Foreighn Language into our class schedule. However, we
have always used the
Computer Language class as out FL. We do not have the
funding necessary for
either online curriculum or hiring another teacher. Any
ideas?
Thanks,
Have a great day.
