I am a special education teacher and am very concerned about the impact of high stakes testing. I teach 6th graders who have a history of not passing the CRCT. These students are under a lot of pressure to succeed and discouraged. I worry that many students will view passing the graduation test as an impossible feat and will give up - drop out.
All students seeking a Georgia high school diploma must pass the Georgia High School Graduation Tests (GHSGT) in four content areas as well as the Georgia High School Writing Assessment. This Blog will discuss the implications of not passing this test.
To Graduate or Not to Graduate? The GHSGT Decides
Is this a possibility for all students?

WELCOME TO OUR BLOG
Each school has an environment as mentioned in Improving Relationships with the Schoolhouse (Barth, 2006). The Administrators and the Teachers set the tone for the survival of the school. As teachers display the act of caring. As administrators give meaning and purpose to teaching students, this flow will filter down to the students (Barth, 2006).
Reflections on What It Means to Be a Teacher
Defining Teaching and Learning. Teaching and learning is a give and receive process. Every human being gives something to society. Teaching and learning it is a revolving door, where someone gives and someone receives. However, the survival of a society is governed by what each person is able to produce or give back to the community.
Identifying what it means to be a good teacher? A good teacher is someone who enjoys giving instructions and leadership to others. A good teacher is effective in training others to learn to be effective contributors to the community. In Barth’s article on “Improving Relationships” the nature of relationships among the adults within a school has a greater influence on the character and quality of that school and on student accomplishment than anything else. Barth’s study (as cited on the CD-ROM Reader in Sadker, D., Sadker and Zittleman, 2006). It is important for the administrative staff to work together with the teachers to create the right environment.
